Is it possibly just marketing hype?

Maybe.

But they do claim 0.27. So there is some proof in their pudding. Though how much the vents contribute isn't stated - and there's still piles of room for improvement, and not just this incremental stuff we're seeing.

The number of current production cars with a Cd of .27 is small.
