CAC attempt #2

Okay, it was the right-click after the left-click before 'copy' which made the difference.
Then simultaneous Ctrl plus V
Thanks to all for the help!
I don't know if GAC will actually do the car. If they do, and it sells, it may trigger a response from the legacy carmakers.
A look at the McLAREN Speedtail and Bentley EXP 100 is moving in the direction of the 1985 Ford Probe-V, Cd 0.137 architecture, favoring the longer aft-body; a mandatory requirement for the lower drag.
It's an interesting development.
PS Also, take a look at the plan-view ( top- down ) image of the GAC. You'll notice the 1938 'Lange' car body taper, also critical to pressure recovery and low drag.
PS: I mistyped the title header. It should read ' GAC', not CAC.

Not quite simultaneously...

While holding the CTRL button, hit the V button. Release the V, release CTRL unless you need it for something else.

Keep on tryin'! :thumbup:

' non-simultaneous'
 
That's the 'secret'. :thumbup:
Thanks again!

Despite it's favorable aerodynamics, they have managed an aesthetic aimed to please. My opinion anyway.
Drag-wise, they've brought a gun to a knife fight. And some higher-hanging fruit remains.
As a BEV, she'd really extend battery range on the highway. More with less.
A lesson lost on many contemporary automotive journalists.

I don't care for it. Looks like a Cybertruck with a Model 3 nose grafted in.

No legroom in the back seats.

Interesting magazine website, though.
