It was designed by Lola using CFD and a windtunnel, the car only had two considerations. To look good and different ( which it did look different, good was debatable and dependeds on taste ) and to allow other cars to follow close, this was achieved.
I doubt someone without an engineering backgroud designed it seeing as though it was lola, and if that was the case then it was going to a HUGE risk that the car would be very aerodynamically unbalanced and even the possibility of it being dangerous.
I agree it looked quite stupid, it looked like a toy, like the current IRL car. At least this Ferrari looks meaningful and like it could be a racing car.
