even before you decide what the car should look like or handle... you need to figure out what its power source will be. nuclear power? chemical? batteries? each one has its pros and cons, and each one has a different weight, space, and load limits that have to be taken into consideration. if we need a mini nuclear reactor onboard, the vehicle will need to be pretty big, more than likely like a mac truck.
