That's pretty sweet. Article mentions the XL Sport. Seven years later time to an EV version.

I know.
It's almost perfect.
I can see this basic shell/platform being adopted to a modern Renault/Alpine A110.
Would be even sweeter than the 2017 effort. |

Renault ALPINE
The 2020 ALPINE is Cd 0.30. Past ALPINEs have been as low as Cd 0.28. The VW XL SPORT was Cd 0.26 something ( with cameras ), maybe Cd 0.27 with Tesla mirrors.

which one
The center vehicle is a Jaray combination-form car with lowest drag. The other two are 'pseudo-Jaray' cars of 'fastback' rooflines, like the Beetle.

Is there a Snopes for aerodynamics?

Something cautions me from accepting this at face value.
Scale model of a student's project?
I like it, God help me.
It just has the wrong badge.

Snopes is garbage. What you want is a 4chan for aerodynamics.
aerohead — That was my thought, too. The other two contenders differ only in the greebling on the fastback. I wonder how close they would be to each other.
