If your car is travelling at 60 MPH, and the frontal area of the car is 2.5 sq. ft. This would work out to be 5280 ft/min * 2.5 = 13200 CFM. I believe turbos are still rated in CFM (Cubic Feet Per Minute) .

Still sounds like a great idea though, removing air from the front and replacing to the rear void.

Maybe a giant conveyor belt under and over the car with embedded vertical plates spaced close together, like the Tesla Turbine.

Well there's my 2 cents...
