Running boards are back!
I wonder what happens when the air coming out of the lot across the top is moving faster than the air over the car.

It's the area behind the front wheels, no attachment.

I figure the low frontal area and roof line kind of make up for it otherwise. |
I'll go with non-aerodynamic,if we're considering drag coefficient.

Well, not in the same size class, but similar front wheel venting below.
https://www.volkswagenag.com/de/grou...1982-1991.html
Is this also a high-drag car?

According to Hucho,we could approach Cd 0.08 with the Scooter with a cleaner and longer body,along with better wheel integration.

Back when that car first came out my co-worker's cousin had one of those.
I don't know if it was the car or his good looks and confidence, but he got laid a lot by some beautiful women.
Not in the car though, way too small for that.
