Considering a car like that most likely spends much of it's time above 35 mph, the issue of down-force cannot be overlooked.
Even the modest down-force improvements I've made on my pick-up truck have increased my driving pleasure and confidence in poor conditions.
Minus the wing on the Lambo, I agree the Cd most likely would be improved backwards. I'm just saying there is more to vehicle dynamics than a low Cd.
One could even argue that the car would perform better inverted (upside down) and backwards.

Has anyone ever seen a VW Beetle windtunnel test, with the car backwards?

I know there is a thread where it was put to the aero-template backwards.
Maybe there is a scale model of it backwards in a wind tunnel, I don't recall - search it.

I came her to post this. It's co-incidental to your request.
I was interested in how they handled that problematic area at the lower rear wheelwell.
