Just another Transformer. If you've seen one, you've seen them all.

Very interesting. I wonder what brand it is. It looks like a 4 cylinder so maybe a honda? Do know how fast it went?

 

[SpringGT]

It looks like the start of a Wile E. Coyote cartoon to me! Where's the Roadrunner?

The frame is an Egli. Motor is a Kawasaki (Z1, 1400cc, turbo and possibly nitrous 320hp), body by Colani.
Land speed record holder for 10km from a standing start (not flying start). 170mph.
Top speed 198.

Luigi Colani's erotic, streamlined, and organic designs were scandalous when introduced in the 1970s, but time has changed our views, and what's possible.

You have to be rock steady to drive that at 198 mph!

Looks good for a straight line, Its a hard ask to make aerodynamics work as well when leaning 45 deg.
My concern would be leaned over with front wheel turned even a bit to follow a bent the top side will be longer than the under side and that is a wing, taking weight just when more would help grip. Maybe there is some clever feature that stops this in his design.

Yep, there is a clever feature...Bonneville has no turns!

At 170mph that's only about 2 minutes!
