That's a real interesting concept! It reminds me of a group who in the '80s, I think, developed an aero package for the Europa. It certainly wasn't anywhere near as extensive as the Europa GS. It included a front end with an air dam sort of style, side skirt extensions, and a rear piece. It really changed the entire look. I've seen a picture or two of a car that had them after all these years.

I don't remember the wing or the scoops but that's got to be it.

I drove out to Media, PA, back in the late 70's or early 80's, (CRS!) to meet the owner/designer of Laminar Concepts and see the Evolution Europa.  ...His name was Jerry, if I recall correctly.

The car did not have the rotary engine installed, and the body was only a plug to create molds from. (Improper grammar alert.)

I add one further contact with him, but he had not progressed any further with development or sales.
