This ought to be posted separately to the general forum. It is fascinating and belongs in its own thread. FR-S with a drag coefficient from 0.29 to 0.27, depending on equipment! Pretty damn good. That is worth some horsepower.

Thanks. I myself like the idea of a mini-ute, but the results need refinement; wrong roofline. The original examples I quite like.

At the risk of hijacking the thread, one of the things that I find hideous about our cars is the square edge to the wheel-arch. Any chance you could do a photoshop where they were rounded off?

Er actually I think that video does have its own thread somewhere in the general forums. I stumbled on it a few weeks back.
