That car looks more similar to the ideal 0.15 shape than a real car. Either the art has progressed (likely), cD*A is being claimed (possible), or we are getting into an issue of semantics (likely). I assume a body is defined as being blunt @ a certain fineness ratio. Also, I don't believe 0.15 was ever believed to be an impenetrable barrier, just a likely limit.
From memory, the ideal 0.15 car and ideal 0.09 GE shape:
Good contributions.
