"The heat produced by the sun on the large glazed dome of the cockpit is cooled when stationary by a temperature control system powered by a solar panel on the rear of the car."
If you want to succeed, never give up and believe in yourself.

Seems the polycarbonate canopy basically is a mobile hothouse. Wiki says the panels supply the AC and the electronic locking system (keycard).
Indeed a radical concept and quite impressive stats, especially for the time. Also I think i recognise some design features that were "borrowed" by other concept cars later on  :D

The Proxima is fantastic! Excellent job Butch!

Thank you for comments. It's always motivating.

Madman_NFS's comment about handling makes me revisit the Carp.txt file for the Proxima. I'll take this opportunity to also adjust the Oxia, which will also get an update, with additional mirrors and more visible door contours in 3D.

I have a question Butch since I'm asking out of curiosity.

Do you like pickup trucks/minivans (MPV's)? If not, no worries.
