Ford claims to have dropped the CD of their Fusion land speed car from .34 to .21 doing similar mods: ...
To my eye, the ford seems to have two or maybe three mods the VW does not: chin spoiler, bonneville spoiler, and possibly strakes on the rear diffuser.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
