Shorter cars like the Audi A2 have done better despite their poorer L/D ratio.

The 2012 Mercedes B-class is 0.24 (with eco package, 0.26 without) despite it being rather short as well.

The Schlörwagen - which is more or less the template in 3 dimensions - only has about half that Cd.
But the 911 is disadvantaged by huge wheel wells and big spokey wheels
