With rear skirts and MOONs on the front wheels you should be very close,just as depicted.
The Beetle develops 57-lbs front lift at 62 mph.If your nose can dip as low as the bottom of the chassis,you ought to be able to kill that.
An Air Force roommate had a 57-hp Beetle and got 28-mpg.Dropping to Cd 0.20 with no change in frontal area would boost it to 36.3 mpg at 55-mph.
