The peak of land speed record design is considered by many to be in the Streamliner category, where there are virtually no restrictions. After years of achievement with vehicles in class bound by restrictive rules, the Feuling R&D team has constructed an ambitious record/research vehicle that is prepared to take on numerous land-speed records. To do this, the Feuling Streamliner employs a number of deviations from conventional designs of vehicles in this category. Hence, the early development concentrated on making their car as "slippery" as possible.  The aim being to minimise drag and increase the potential speed to horsepower ratio. 

Jim Feuling's own studies in gas and fluid flow, coupled with outside aerodynamics consultants resulted the refined body form of the project streamliner that was tested in the General Motors wind tunnel in Detroit.  It is claimed this Streamliner achieved the lowest coefficient-of-drag GM had ever measured for any full-sized vehicle.
