Volkswagen's lowest drag, Cd 0.14 'Flow-body' of 1981 had a 'slow' diffuser.
I have tuft-testing images of a 'steep' Lamborghini diffuser experiencing 100% counter-flow. There IS an angle at which air behind the car begins to flow forwards down under the car, not visa-versa.
There may be caveats attached to specific designs that you'd want/need to know about.
Volvo and Polestar aren't necessary known for low drag.
'High-performance' cars will pay a drag penalty for high speed stability.
