Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

It's basically a Miata with about eight times the usual power. Okay.

Tiny apertures around the body can open and close to create drag or downforce exactly when and where it's needed.

The seating position isn't anything like a modern hypercar -- the driver will lay flat on his or her stomach.

The brakes are mounted centrally, which reduces unsprung mass.
