NEVAH!!!
It all has to come directly from blood, sweat and tears.  |
The template has often been used here to do the following:
- Show where there is separated and attached flow on existing cars
- Guide the shape of rear extensions
- Show how rear spoilers on sedans should be positioned and shaped
- Allow the assessment of the ‘aerodynamic purity’ of cars
None of these uses can be justified. The template is simply one of at least five different low drag shapes that has been published over the years. No more and no less that that.
