Looking like a breadvan, the car was aerodynamically unstable.

https://www.zdnet.com/article/bizarre-looking-japanese-ev-is-most-aerodynamic-production-vehicle-ever/
The SIM-LEI all-electric vehicle has a drag coefficient of 0.19, which means that when it goes on sale in Japan around 2013, it will be the most aerodynamic car ever to be mass produced. That means it will achieve twice the range of an all-electric Nissan Leaf -- a total of 186 miles -- with a battery pack of approximately the same size.

If it had a battery trailer it could go coast-to-coast.

No. Even improving aerodynamics drastically won't double the range of a street car in real-world use. The energy cost of heating and cooling the cabin and batteries won't change, and much of the car's life would be spent driving at speeds too low for aerodynamics to be a factor.

One of my past fav whips............540 / M Sport 6-speed. Something like only 1290 imported to US that year. I loved that car.
