Add the EV1 to that list. I think 3D shapes can achieve low drag with steeper angles than the ideal 2D shape?

I trust aerohead will be along shortly, but you did a pretty good imitation with the NINE illustrations of the same darn thing.

Here's what I think he might point to:

That must be the case. Damn near every low-drag car is steeper than template in the rear.

Frank,

I believe most modern low drag cars were steeper than the original AST, but the AST-2 which the OP is referencing was made steeper/more aggressive to match. At least that is what the overlays I have done seemed to indicate.

And here I thought utopia looked more like a watermelon.

The transition from a conceptual 3D template or 2D template into reality is an interpretive dance at best......................and it is built on an assembly line.
