There's that new hypercar that I can never remember* that has a spoon-shaped depression where the Supra has a convex window. It obtains downforce without a wing.

The supra has a mini wing also so the downforce must be high. Does not downforce increase drag? I just do not know of any low drag airfoils that have a convex shape aft of the high point. Apparently, my knowledge is lacking. Even google returns liver anomalies for an AST search string.
