Mercedes says has the lowest drag coefficient of any production car. Here's a good pic of the CLA in the wind tunnel.

Porsche 917

Quote:
They also had slightly different bodies, both equally ugly and blunt. These were developed in the wind tunnel, not with the accent on low drag, but rather on reasonable downthrust without spoilers, compact dimensions and lightness, as this latest open car has been developed mainly for the Targa Florio and other winding circuits requiring exceptional manoeuvrability and agility........................

But the whole car has been considerably lightened and now probably weighs around 500Kg. (11001b.) or even less. To keep the front wheels on the ground better, a new five-speed gearbox is now located in front of the final drive, pushing the engine to a more forward position, while the driver sits with his feet only a few inches from the forward edge of the blunt nose.

Once approved, '79 styling was refined in the wind tunnel to trim air drag and thus enhance fuel economy.

Squoval 3 - Cervélo

Quote:
Relative aerodynamic drag. Aerodynamic drag is on the vertical axis, in multiples of a true aero shape. Each shape has the same frontal area, so the chart compares the drag due to shape only. - See more at: Squoval 3 - Cervélo

Chevy Volt’s Coefficient of Drag is 0.28, Beats Prius and Insight
Chevy Volt’s Coefficient of Drag is 0.28, Beats Prius and Insight

Quote:
“The Prius came in at .30,” said Boniface. “That was a number that was verified in our tunnel, in Chrysler’s tunnel, and in Ford’s tunnel.”
“The Insight was 0.32, and the Volt was .28,” he said.
“I’d like to test the Volt in the same tunnel where Toyota got their 0.25 value,” he teased.
