How do any of those things affect aerodynamics? Maybe power windows require a slightly different window design...but even that seems unlikely.

- imaginenore 12y agoBecause you can't shape the car any way you want, you have to fit all these things in, while still being bound by box-like constraints (for driving on normal roads, parking, stability while turning, etc) and having to be slightly elevated to drive over bumps and small rocks. It's pretty damn hard to build a practical and safe car with a very low drag.
