This concept uses a new aerodynamic principal developed by Jocko of the "Exterior Venturi body" It essentially accelerates the air around its' exterior because of its' Wasp shaped design and thus lowers the vehicles' over all coeficient of drag. The engine and drive was located in the front pod while the fuel was in the boom and the driver would lie on his belly facing forward in the back pod with the window. This is the actual vehicle and is not a mock-up.
That is famous American car designer Jocko Johnson's last streamliner design which he was working on when he passed away. It was called the Triple Nickel/Spirit of Twentynine Palms. Powered by a radical radial engine of his own design and designed to hit 555 M.P.H. being wheel driven by the front wheels only. Later versions actually flew the back driver pod.
