I had to look Lange up, been a long time since I read that name, but recall the images.

To the Cd 0.14-16 featureless,smooth model,we'd have to add in all the features drag,interference drag,drag due to lift,cooling system drag,etc..
Also,if you look at the Lange car in plan view,it has extreme plan taper,nearly from the front of the car.Never done in the production cars.
The Volkhart Sagitta V2 is very similar to the Lange body.Cd 0.21.
