Low drag shapes and lift

Here's a topic where complete rubbish has (very unfortunately) been disseminated on this forum over many years.

And what's that?

It's that coupe (curved fastback) shapes have low lift - but they don't. Here's a good comparison.



So... typically, these shapes have low drag but high lift! One very important reason that car manufacturers add rear spoilers (etc) to most low drag shapes.
