I think that it was CAR and DRIVER that did a road test of the Caterham 7,Lotus 7 homage car.With the roof on it was reported at Cd 0.62.They didn't give a number for the roof down.
Walter Korff reported Cd 0.75 for 1960s era sports roadsters.Ouch!
Small frontal area,light,and great power-to-weight ratio though.
