    Just a few thousand truck flipping cars on the road might be a good start

      That has traffic-flipping vibes of the upgraded Agency Supercar from the game Crackdown. I like.

        Lancia Stratos Zero was kinda similar.

          Not to speak of the Lancia Stratos, the original cheese wedge:

            That one apparently did well in rally, so I have trouble seeing it as a ‘hugging the ground’ supercar. Even though Porsches and Lambos also were in rally.

              It’s a bit of a misconception. Soft-sprung cars can be hella fast on roads.

              But modern supercars are sprung so slow for downforce, to try to turn their bottoms into vacuum cleaners. But (outside of racetracks) its mostly for show and ‘sporty feel,’ as this downforce doesn’t really kick in till like 90mph+. In fact, many racecars are faster around hairpins when sprung looser and higher.

        I don’t know where that’s from, but it kinda has Lancia Stratos concept vibes to me.
