Anyone can construct in a 'thought experiment' a series of scenarios where anything is possible, but I'd much prefer to look at the real world - what has been achieved, and what the problems were.

As far as I am aware, there has never been a road car of any type, ever created anywhere, where aerodynamic lift was a positive.
Overall lift, or lift specific to the front or rear axle?
