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.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
