Hilarious, no I did not know this.
Do you know why the pickup truck manufactures about 10-15 years ago went to huge wheel well openings?
Another feature of pickup trucks that has evolved is huge grill openings, it was once described in this forum as a result of some kind of Diesel cooling requirement increase.
Your sport car examples are excellent.
It still blows my mind that so many of the sleek mid-engine prototype concept cars from the late 1960's through the mind 1970's had such terrible Cd's. For the most part it seemed to stem from the belly pan or lack of, and the engine bay left open at the underside. I posted a few images, some were based on plastic models by Revell and the like.
