Years ago Cleetus McFarland had his bodyless car tested in a wind tunnel.
Now he's back with a body. Cool stuff IMHO.

Another Blender CFD tutorial. It's not to OpenFOAM level yet, but the possibility is there.

That apparent cowl recirculation at the base of the windshield IMO goes a long way towards the hazards in making that the engine air intake location, and further reducing that bubble that the windshield has formed, in creating its own drag reducing bubble.
