mikeyjd -- It would depend on the frontal area and a myriad of details about the drivetrain and tires.
We're looking at the front and the whole thing is festooned with tufts.
In 1980,VW did the same thing for their VW 2000,starting with a low drag body (The Klemperer body,Cd 0.16) and after a cooling system and features,it came in around Cd 0.23 for a production vehicle.

It was the cover photo for Hucho's 1st English version text.
