Not a car, but the most aero motorcycle I've seen from the factory...

He said it was a special vehicle made for the 24 hours of LeMans parade ( modified from a bus). I guessed that they had GoGo dancers on the roof, he said no it was a small orchestra and they had an elevator to get the performers and equipment up.
His model is in a light blue, like the Gulf blue.
