The Americas Cup was lost to the Aussies after they applied "Ripplets" to their hull. These triangular shaped bumbs would produce a back eddie to push the boat forward. Not sure if it would work on a car

Wow, and nobody cried foul for tech cheating?
It might work on large cars or trucks but on smaller vehicles it might create more drag than its worth, nevermind that water dynamics are so different from air.
