Looks like a track car. For a Bonneville car you would not use wide wheels/ tires and you would
not flare the fenders. To go fast there you want to punch the smallest hole possible in the air (smallest
frontal area).

I also think the body is far to wide.......it does appear to be a track monster....far too much drag for high speeds...... Even the slight GTS flares add drag, so all the fastest 928 ORR cars run stock narrow body with fairly small tires....

Those look like the Bob Devore kevlar fender flares. Any chance this is that shell that was for sale awhile back?

Good chance it is the Devore car. No idea what it has for an engine NOW , if it has an engine ! Clearly is not a "land speed record car" . Probably just needs some real sponsors !
