Just like the radio controlled cars I had when I was younger.. he can swap the outer shells for a change

Aerodynamics have a lot to do with things once at high speed and I doubt that the brick like aero qualities of the granny body would do it any favours, even the car the engine came out of struggled until The Stig off of top gear suggested a rear spoiler was added.

No the original koenigsegg had aerodynamics which were a little bit too good for straight line speed. Not enough downforce.
