FWIW, That is a very exact duplicate of the aerotemplate simply scaled to fit as Aerohead has recommended. I did NOT change a thing to make it match.
I've been looking at car mags,and when they show good side photos in true-length,I'm seeing many,many new and future cars doing the 2.5:1 aft-body.
Even Porsche has given up on the Lange body with the up-coming 918 Spyder.
I think the CAFE standards are forcing them into scientific styling.
Some of the Lamborghinis aren't even putting rear spoilers on.There isn't any separation to 'fix.'
Ferrari's Italia
Honda's R-Type
Cadillac CTS Wagon
Leaf
Leaf NISMO
AUDI
Aston Martin
Even BMW's Rover is cutting the roof down on the Mini Cooper
Maybe,when aero is good enough for James Bond,it will be good enough for Joe Sixpack
