They have already designed a super-lightweight and aerodynamic 2+2 chassis:

"The Loremo’s construction is based on a steel linear cell structure: with a weight of only 95 kg the patented hull features three straight longitudinal struts and one centre cross strut. The steel struts of this clever construction principle provide the needed rigidity and safety and create a 600 mm deformation zone. Additionally the unique design enables the Loremo to reach an extremely low aerodynamic coefficient of 0.20.

But still: with all its safety and comfort features the Loremo weighs less than 600 kg, which is less than half the weight of regular compact vehicles. That’s why it is so economical."
