I'd say it is low drag.

Remarkable car, and good looking in my opinion. Hard to imagine a race car having such good Cd numbers.
If I were to pick a race car to model after (or be inspired by) I would like to know the Cd, hopefully without the massive rear wing and a few of the other aero down force creations which I would not need on the street.
Banned Mooncraft GT300 to become road car

Super GT’s most controversial car, the Mooncraft MC/RT-16 Shiden is to become an extreme one off road car after being banned from the Japanese series.
When Mooncraft took the wraps off of it’s Riley Daytona Prototype based Shiden it immediately sparked outcry from rival teams with more conventional cars, but the car continued in the GT300 class for five years before being banned ahead of the 2012 season. Mooncraft boss Takuya Yura had planned to build a road car version in 2005 but the Super GT organisers said that it was not required. The road going version of the Shiden will be on the street later this year.

So far, no luck in finding the Cd of the above/below car.
