It's an artist's rendering, a 3-D solid model of what one might look like by four people from a design school: http://www.isd-valenciennes.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=27&Itemid=35 "...I just want to rectify a very important thing, this project was made by a team work composed by Baptiste Viry, Julien Sarreméjean and me for the design and Mathieu Bouis and Romuald Lemoine for the 3D modelling..." It isn't engineered, wind tunnel tested or anything else. It's a solid model, probably done in CATIA5. "...design "study" seeks to revolutionize the face of motorsport with an FIA-certified EV comprised of a carbon fiber chassis and a fiberglass body. "In theory," a pair of 100 kW water-cooled electric motors..." Good lord,

I'm guessing that this car will set the record for most pit stops in a 24 hour race. Seriously, can the thing do more than 5 laps between battery changes? The article really needs more information.
