W/o fenders all of the air hits the tires and you get horrible handling and fuel efficiency. If you notice, the F1 cars have a spoiler in the front to help push the air over the tires. And like kbrew8991 said, even if the designers wanted fenders, the rules wouldn't permit it. But if all you do is drive around a small town or small streets, then no fenders would be a benefit only because of weight. But as far as aerodynamics go, you're better off with the fenders on. Especially on highways or at high-speed where the air actualy affects you aero.
