Though there is an assortment of brand-new and fully redesigned passenger cars hitting the road for 2020 model year, their numbers are dwindling as buyers are instead choosing sport-utility vehicles as their rides of choice. Stalwart sedans like the Chevrolet Impala and Ford Taurus are being discontinued, with the number of small cars in particular thinning rapidly. While there were 26 subcompact models on the market as recently as 2016, they’re down to just 17 for 2019, with the Ford Fiesta and Chevrolet Sonic reportedly bowing out at the end of the current model year.
McLaren Automotive has revealed its latest sports car, the Elva.
It has no windows, roof or windscreen - and instead uses air. The car is able to still create a 'relative bubble of calm', which would normally be provided by glass, by shaping the wind around the vehicle.
The Elva is incredibly limited: only 399 will be made, and they start at nearly £1.5 million.
For that price, customers won't get any windows to keep the weather out.
