Exactly, the light cars have already existed. But if I recall, the 675's had a lot of reliability issues. On the other hand i'm sure a team like audi or peugeot wouldn't have that issue.

as far as the "delta schwing" goes, if a team wanted to make a light weight car with crazy proportions I dont' have a problem with it, but I wouldn't expect other teams to follow.
