Rear flaps/wings?
Hope it is not sarcosanct to speculate on Murray's impeccable engineering projects, but I've used his T.27 as a the basis of the extending wing surfaces/flaps (or shape shifter?). The ever shortening/tall dims for urban packaged vehicles does not have good aero properties @ higher speeds. Thus the extending Kamm-wing is an alternative solution. In a speculative design, there is a low profile roof package attached between roof rails. The extension movements are very similar to sunroof mechanicals but it extends rearward & behind the rear top quarters and then additional side 'winglets' deploy. Many 'hardtop' convertibles have engineered multiple powered hinges & panels deploy cleanly & consistently. This extended Kamm-wing could be an optional OEM part or easily added as an aftermarket part.
...had to clean up the sides too.
