The AeroPack claims fuel savings of 15%-25%! So it's better than a full boattail (15%)? Yeah, right.
The pictures on the German version also show how it doesn't mess with the airflow, but only on the Lupo, where it is mounted pretty low. On the other pics it's mounted way up in the airstream, acting like a spoiler or parachute.
Each time I look at my Kammbacked car (only 10-30 times per day
) I can't help thinking how much more space I'd have if the rear window was moved to the end of the extension. I'm thinking more and more seriously about fabricating a
Kammhatch.
