What helps to get lower drag figures is ofcourse the air suspension. At the moment they haven`t told the at which ride heigth the 0,20 is achieved.

Also the turning rear wheels help little as front wheels don`t have to turn so much. More flat panels can be onderside of the car.

Havent seen any pictures yet on the underside of the car, because most magic is there.
