It features lightweight composite construction (road relevent) and a low drag design (elements of which can be incorporated into road cars) and a production based engine.

And please, do some research about how it will turn. Look out for something called 'torque vectoring'. Somehow I doubt someone of Bowlby's experience would design a car that can't turn properly. Lets see it run before passing judgement.

Its not a trike, it has four wheels.The front two happen to be very close together.
