Well, I'm surprised that one didn't make it into production and become a shining success...
Outward visibility seems quite challenged. Drivers fight to stay awake because they are laying down. And at any speed above 60 mph, the front end begins to lift like an airplane leaving a runway.

Never mind the drag on the rear end totally promoting the front end to lift due to the scoops. Wonder what the drag coefficient was on this one.Originally Posted by mlochala

Well maybe I am not informed enough about the shape of this. Seems like this gentleman understood how to use wind tunnels.
The laying back and sleeping part, well that is how it works. Maybe little electrodes on the seat to zap you awake?
The way I've seen some of the people who drive reclining cars maneuver them you would swear there was a phallus made in the seat connected to the engine
Never try to tell me it can't be done
When I have to paint I use KBS products
