I assume the futuristic appearance was intentional, but I don't know if it was actually claimed to be "the car of the future."

That is a rear fin, but I don't think it serves any special purpose.

Although, I imagine it could act as a stabilizer if the owner ever decided to launch the car from an aircraft carrier. ;D

It is transparent. I don't know for certain what material was used, but I think it was most likely acrylic (Plexiglas/Perspex).
