What's that Italian(?) dude's name that did the organic design since the 1970's? I think someone posted a French car manufacturer that made a Semi using his design aesthetic. This looks like his stuff.

why not just remove the top parts that connect the top of the wheel to the car. Not doing anything except maybe structural rigidity, but the bottom should be enough--or can just use thin bars on top. Because all that structure and mass isn't doing anything helpful.
