Mercedes did a nice job with the Bionic car.And you'll notice it's a dead match with the 'Template.'
Cd 0.19 with a car this short is kind of a benchmark.
The Cd 0.095 was probably without wheels.The fish itself was probably Cd 0.0475.
Wheels can double the drag of a low drag body.On Jaray's 'pumpkin seed' they brought the Cd from 0.09,up to o.13.
The Pininfarina CNR 'banana' car jumped from Cd 0.161,to Cd 0.35.
