There's not a lot of aft-body for the car and plan taper starts rather late,leading to a relatively large wake.
Thule makes a 1-inch receiver hitch type bicycle rack system which could be modified to create a slip on bustle/boat tail extension for elongating the car.
Something like this would help recover pressure,raise the base pressure,cutting pressure drag which Hucho says is the entire premise of streamlining.
Front skirts,rear skirts,and tail should show significant savings.AeroCivic would be an outstanding benchmark to model after. |
Weird drawing; Dodge doesn't make a hatchback version that I'm aware of...unless it's in the pipeline.
Edit: ahh...no "hatchback" perse but yes, that's an accurate drawing of what the shape is.
