The 0.236 C(d)... Dodge?

[ALS]

Don't forget about the Daytona Chargers and Superbird's either.

The Superbirds Cd was in the .28 range.

The Dodge-PPG M4S Pace Car: Restored

It's a very interesting car.

• It was in the movie before it paced the Indy 500
• It wasn't in the movie, those were VW-powered replicas
• It's got the little roll-down windows because the passenger's job is to wave at the crowd
• Gene Winfield built the 6 replicas
• It never made the 200mph goal, topping out at 194.8mph
• The active, Daytona style wing never was completed

An early example of a twin turbo four for power, and an external ducted wing, like the GTI W12-650 or the new Ford GT.

The Wraith II kit car never got off the ground.

Other Mopar concepts that did make production: Challenger, Prowler, PT Cruiser, and Viper.

Building a slick prototype is one thing and marketing it is another.

We made up impressive fuel economy numbers (lies) that were slightly based on our simulation.” Press rides were made with the car on full-battery, he wrote; “the controls to charge the batteries had not yet been developed,” and cited real fuel mileage, based on simulations, at around 30 mpg.

That's typical concept car stuff. There's a scene in the movie Tucker where they are trying to roll out something for the press, I forget the details.

A lot of them -mobile but don't auto-.

I rather like the shorter tail on the II, not as aerodynamic though.
