Yes, really interesting car. But the article is a bit breathless - traditional 3 box shapes have been on the wane for, what, decades?

No I don't think that it will have laminar boundary layer anywhere - just a few bugs would destroy that.

To my eyes the EQS just looks to be doing all the normal low drag things - full undertray, attached flow to back of car, clean separation edges at rear (hard to judge though because of camouflage), what appears to be a fairly aggressive rear diffuser angle.

Hope, hope, hope they release a tech paper though - front and rear lift figures would also be very interesting.
