Early Cybertruck prototype?

More likely something had a drunken one night stand with one of those early Citroen trucks, and that's the result...

It's one awaiting the recall for the body panels gluing back on

Until I saw the door windows, was wondering if this was an attempt to make a car look like a cybertruck, or a cybertuck trying to look like it isn't.

An interesting one this. Probably not pointless as the owner reckons he's busted 100 mpg, but it's certainly impractical.

AN F1 aero person would probably run out of the room screaming if you showed them that!!!

Yes and no. Someone's obviously looked at factor-of-efficiency vehicles and 1930s streamliners, although the execution could be better.
This would be pretty efficient at low speeds where the air flow over (and under) the surfaces is laminar. But as soon as you speed up and get turbulent air flow, then yes, a lack of downforce at high speed would make the handling... interesting.
In F1, it's a constant balancing act between drag and downforce, as you want low drag on the straights and high downforce in the corners.

Interesting. Is it a forestry machine? I've seen a broadly similar-ish tracked steam engine in a museum in Finland (Rovaniemi Forestry Museum) which was used for hauling logs.
The one I saw looked older and less powerful. Not that I'm any kind of judge of these things.
On second thoughts I think it's photoshop or maybe AI.

No idea if I'm honest.
