Let's consider an actual 0.17Cd car; verified in modern wind tunnels:



It differs in A and H. Notice the protruding pontoons and the distance between the front fender and windshield coaming on the far side. This allows air to fall down the sides, similar to the Mazda RX8 or the ducts on whatever Ferrari this is:

0.17

Since we don't even know if White allowed for a cooling system and excrescences like mirrors,the Volkhart Sagitta,if stripped of all it's details would come in well below 0.17.
What a nice ride!
2025 retro Porsche commuter?

If a party had the correct lobbyist inside the 'Beltway,' could that number be adjusted up? or is it forever set in stone?

Apparently not even the Constitution is set in stone.

325-each lots from multiple virtual corporations might be the ticket. OTOH 325 new each succeeding year isn't such a bad deal.

I'm curious about a 50-50 morph of the Volkhart-Saggita V2 and Fiat Turbina. What would they make of that? V-S with VW XL-1 lighting?
