Abstract

A single seater motor vehicle is disclosed which has freely exposed wheels and a centrally disposed base body bounded on the sides by lateral body section. The base body is tapered so as to have an aerodynamic shape with a widest section as seen from the top adjacent the rear vehicle wheels and a widest section width as seen from the bottom adjacent the front vehicle wheels. The lateral body sections extend from adjacent the vehicle front wheels and include openings for vehicle engine radiators.
