Take that Ferrari! Tried to draw the top-down, but then realized that I can only draw cars in 2-D from the side.
Will annotate with more detail...

Isometric drawings are easy as pie, once you get the hang of it.. Oh dear, showing my age....... Here is a neat video...... I always preferred going from side to top view then triangulating from there.

Oh, forgot to mention, great idea! Don't forget, make sure the engine is supported with removable mounts so it can be dropped out and worked on easily. It will have to be a really short stroke I6 :)

Glass on both sides of the engine compartment, so you can see through to the engine, and even further through to the cars behind

We learned isometric drawing in my drafting class when I was in college, get to learn some neat tricks there!

supports/aerodynamic vanes that pull the air from the sides into the truck bed, increasing the pressure inside and therefore downforce on the diffuser later on.

brake cooling inlet, active aero inside to divert air to the bed when cooling the brakes is not needed

bottom of the bed opens up to divert air from underneath the floor to the bed, thereby decreasing the air pressure underneath and increasing downforce produced by the rear diffuser because the air pressure is less.

I had the pleasure of learning it in Jr high, and continuing on into grade 11. Being a techno-weenie from a young age (Programming robotic arms at 13, writing 3d tic tac toe programs at 11) and now being a computer systems engineer, I still have to pull out paper and a pencil, to draw things, before doing it on a computer. CAD Apps in the late 80's, early 90's were deplorable, and forced me (Not that I am complaining) to still retain the enjoyable skill of drafting by hand. Ironically, my father of 74, can no longer do it by hand, but is a whiz on the computer with CAD. Go figure huh? :) Keep up using a pencil!

Hah, that's very interesting. We've got a bunch of "cad-monkeys" at my work and they have all switched over to strictly doing it on the computer. Possibly mostly because drawing by hand is something they don't have the time for anymore. But it does seem like an important step to take before letting the computer do all the thinking for you. I really learned a lot from having to draw a locomotive in isometric, haha.

LOL, CAD Monkeys! Love it! :) Keep the pencil free my friend! :)
