I talked to someone today who introduced himself as a European (?) who excitedly told me that the Dasher I had driven up in was derived from the NSU Ro-80. Here's the story on Autospeed:
AutoSpeed - The NSU Ro 80
I agree the longitudinal engine layout and Macpherson struts with the steering rack over the transaxle is the same as Audi used. But not the enigne and rear suspension. The Cd was 0.355.
Note the reattachment on the deck lid.

(This author has never seen any evidence than any other three-box cars of the era achieved attached flow on the final third of the car. Typically, any wool tuft pics are careful not to show this area!)
