PS - judging from the photos at ABG, the exterior sheetmetal is stock. Nothing else is.

PPS - It's a hydrogen fuel cell powerplant.

Improved high speed performance is a fringe benefit of doing the aero mods. My car now cruises easily at 80mph, whereas in stock condition you could hear the ICE struggling a bit to maintain that speed.

We need to keep our eyes on B'ville. Top speed racing (SE, speed efficiency?) in restricted classes is sort of the flip side of FE.
