Open wheels is a use case, Okay? The stance is good and the break in the bellypan is probably wrapping around the bell housing.

185 what? Kilometers per hour isn't too impressive. It's a German car on a German test track.
Wind tunnel smoke at 37:00.

1938 D-B M-B Stromlimien-Limousine
As a 'pseudo-Jaray' fastback, she suffered significant vortex drag.
At Cd 0.362, she's dirtier than a 2012 Dodge RAM 1500 eco.
Tatra's 87 of the same year was Cd 0.36.
Porsche's 60K10 perhaps Cd 0.20.
Considering that a 'typical' saloon of the day was Cd 0.64, they were all to be applauded.

There's a big chrome M-B grille behind that central light. I didn't see any ducting though.

On Kamm's patented design, the entire engine bay was airtight, and flow exited at the base of the windscreen cowl, allegedly energizing an otherwise stagnating flow; helping flow attachment over the windshield header and onto the roof.
I've never seen the belly of the Mercedes. They had a record car with Cd 0.12, which would have had a full bag-of- tricks. They're certainly not newcomers to aero.

From Southern California in 1936 came the Arrowhead Teardrop Car, which its creators claimed was “America’s first truly streamlined automobile.”

A year before the Airmobile, but two years after the first Dymaxion.
A bottled water company competing with the Art Deco beer trucks?

That MG EX181 is a cool little car. I think I may have posted it before in this thread many, many years ago...
It’s great to see it again. 
Check this out...
