Malibu roofline

Hucho states emphatically,that the lowest drag is always achieved with the fastback roofline.And it needs to follow closely to the Mair/Buchheim contour.

Here,GM has used it on their Citation concept,which has returned Cds below 0.14.

A recent Buick Riviera concept

Here is Mair

Here is Buchheim

The Aerodynamic Streamlining tool at the top of the forum page respects Mair's contour.If you wanted to consider a Kamm extension,that's what it's for.
