Quiz - pressure distribution. (Achievable!)
 

What is the car for which this upper pressure distribution is shown? (Refer only to the solid dots in the graph).

This one is really 'gettable' and furthermore, is highly indicative of the pressure distribution on modern notchback shapes.

Clues:

• A notchback
• French
• Late 1980s
• Quite slippery - the diesel one I used to own gave excellent (for the time) mileage
  

Ah yes, the Papillon Feuoarialle Cinq Pieds Travaieullié Croissanwich! I would know it anywhere!

(I don´t know my French cars at all, but I´m going to look some up so I can at least guess at this).

Another clue. It was sold in the US.

Nope - wouldn't develop positive pressure on the trunk lid, would it?

Is it a Renault of some kind? I don't know french cars very well.


This is the only Peugeot I've ever seen (at least that I paid enough attention to realize it was a Peugeot) in person was this 504 in Rotterdam.

505? Not many French cars sold here!

405?

Yes, Peugeot 405.

(I dunno why that Pug seems to be leaping off the ground. Mine wasn't like that:)

OSB(Old Square Body) for the win.

Agreed that other one looks like it's got a lift kit, lol.

405 with spoiler
 

I believe they rated it at Cd 0.315.
