I'd recently done a full aerodynamic analysis for our new German member's Volvo 245 and the 760, and the the quanta was right at hand.
I've never seen data for the Lotus Elise, which became Roadster-I. I did think of it immediately, but it was heading the wrong direction.
So, basic laziness!
The electromagnetic bubble is interesting but I'm unsure about the math required for that.
