I've seen other radical concepts before that did not last...I find it hard to believe that this is the "most innovative design in 40 years" I respectfully present the Tyrrell P34 six wheeler and the Brabham BT46B "fan car" for cooling and extreme downforce. I think this idea will not catch on anymore than those did. Although the Brabham won the only race it entered then was banned...100% win history..lol

(Final from prev.) You oversimplify what a car made learning from the DeltaWing would look like.That it HAS to not just look like but basically be the DeltaWing is grossly unimaginative. It is very unlikely that any production vehicle can be as radical as the racecar. They have other criteria to inform their design. However, on the aerodynamics, something of the DeltaWing can be attained usefully in a passenger vehicle and it would not look entirely unlike a car from the 1920s-40s

(From Previous) I'm not sure if you actually comprehend what I posted. It was my notion that cars that take the DeltaWing's example to heart will take on shapes and form looking like cars from the 1920s-40s, as those cars would need few changes to achieve similar effects. If you wanted to know what such a car would look like, you have examples of the possibilities. (Con'd)

I will NOT assume that you do NOT know more about automotive design that what pops up on your screen bright and early one morning. I will assume that you do study the subject at least a little. The DeltaWing almost doesn't ride on its front end at all. The car is balanced on and roll control is handled by the rear suspension. The Front suspension barely holds up 100lbs and is for steering. Please DRIVE channel's on the DeltaWing's suspension and frame (watch?v=c_INdbXMqsw)
