My two favorite things about this car are the split windscreen (actually not an unreasonable choice at the time, as laminated safety glass has to be custom-molded for regular car windscreens, and the tooling for that would have been cost-prohibitive for a projected run that might not reach double digits) and the backwards-facing NACA ducts arranged as extractors for airflow through the radiators (they don't actually work in reverse like that, but I guess in 1993 a low-volume manufacturer was probably doing aerodynamics by seat of their pants).
