Some quanta:
1) for the Genesis GV60, we're told that the AAS is good for delta Cd 0.008
2) we're told that this constitutes a 2.8% drag reduction when deployed.
3) dividing 0.008, by 2.8% ( 0.028) = Cd 0.2857 for the un-deployed AAS car
4) subtracting the delta-Cd 0.008 yields Cd 0.2777 ( a smidgeon lower than the McLaren Speedtail )
5) Sun Hyung Cho does not specify whether he is referring to Cd, or CdA.

6) From observing the GV60 materials we 'know' that the GV60 has 'two' different frontal areas which are unaccounted for.
7) without the Cd/CdA data, we're left with un-actionable information, exactly as Ford Motor Company did a few years ago with their SAE Paper on the F-150 airdam/Cd investigation which Vman455 shared with us.

They look pretty far ahead of the wheels too and there are already normal deflectors there so the double deflectors looks a bit goofy in my opinion.
