No, I mean like the chassis components were on the outside of the car, like a bug. That was the crux of their entry, mollified by some talk of aerodynamic efficiency. From what I recall, the rendered images of their concept didn't even have a method of entry for the driver/passengers. No doors. It was...well, frustrating, as my tone probably conveyed.

Re: Monocoque - my entry cited that format to give additional strength to the chassis/panels mating. Bio-composites are approaching the tensile strength of carbon fiber, and could potentially be much easier to mass produce and at a lower price point. I thought the implication that in 10 years, with research, such an avenue would be viable. Instead, the second place entry was some proprietary kind of new metal that could be used to replace body panels...that's it. I remember calling that entry a "body kit" because that's what it reminded me of overall.
