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).

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.
