Modern Rolls Royce Phantom vs Aerodynamic Coupe

We had a Rolls Royce Phantom in one of our latest music video shoots. There is no question it has to be one of the nicest car i have ever seen. To apreciate it you really have to get up close to the car.







The only other Rolls Royce i admire is the 1925 Aerodynamic Coupe but this got me thinking. The Aerodynamic Coupe looks just that, Aerodynamic but looks can be decieveing



Just how Aerodynamic is this car compared to the modern Phantom that looks to be very non aerodynamic. Can computer design and wind tunnels get good results despite the un-airodynamic appearance compared to 1930s stile and intuition.

Are we relying on computers too much and not just using intuition to design cars?
