Modern wind tunnels don't agree today. Zeppelin tunnels didn't require a rolling roadway.

For example, the Panhard Dynavia did 81 mph on 28hp, and if we accept these figures, it certainly had low drag.
IIRC correctly, the Volkhart-Sagitta did 90mph with 25hp [if we accept these figures]. It's nice that JulianEdgar is coming round to the V-S V2 as the missing link between the Zeppelin era and the Porsche Taycan.

T'would be interesting to see what further he has to say.
