Custom 1954 Chevrolet Tourliner Is A Hotrodder's Motorhome
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/custom-1954-chevrolet-tourliner-hotrodders-191240365.html

So he went to work mounting the classic truck cab on top of a chassis from a 1985 motorhome and creating a custom-made shell for the living quarters, and because hot rodders can never have too much power, he swapped out the motorhome's original big-block gas V8 with a tuned 12-valve Cummins 5.9-liter turbo diesel engine pumping out 400 horsepower and 800 lb-ft of torque.

The new A-Class Saloon takes advantage of the favourable conditions provided by its long rear end to undercut even the already exemplary A-Class with hatchback (Cd value from 0.25). With a benchmark of Cd = 0.22 the new saloon model even equals the original world record of the CLA Coupé. Thanks to the frontal area of 2,19 m˛, smaller than that of the CLA, the new A-Class Saloon has the lowest aerodynamic drag of all production vehicles worldwide.

Slippery Slope: Production Cars Making Jaw-Dropping Aerodynamic Gains
A new trend sweeping the industry is aerodynamic vehicles that look fashionable, rather than like science projects.
https://www.wardsauto.com/technology/slippery-slope-production-cars-making-jaw-dropping-aerodynamic-gains

While not quite as slippery as the XL1, the CLA is part of a new trend sweeping the industry: Aerodynamic vehicles that look fashionable, rather than like science projects. In addition to the Mercedes, mainstream models including the Chevrolet Malibu and Toyota Avalon are sporting shockingly low Cds without looking like Sci-Fi props.

Teardrop-shaped bodies, fender skirts and other typical aero gimmicks may work miracles in the wind tunnel, but when they hit the street, consumers reject them. GM’s EV1 and first-generation Honda Insight HEV were the most aerodynamic vehicles of their day, sporting Cds of 0.19 and 0.25, respectively, more than 10 years ago. Despite innovative design and breathtaking efficiency, both flopped.

There are many reasons why the cars failed, but nerdy fender skirts and pinched hindquarters did not help.

Truck Makers May Test Radically Different Aero Cab Designs With SuperTruck II
https://www.ttnews.com/articles/truck-makers-may-test-radically-different-aero-cab-designs-supertruck-ii

The primary goal of SuperTruck II is to show a 100% freight-efficiency improvement in a tractor-trailer combination by either doubling the amount of freight that can be hauled with the same amount of fuel, or cutting fuel use 50%, in a representative customer drive cycle over a 2009 baseline, according to DOE.

SuperTruck Program Scores Big, Heads into Second 5-Year Phase
October 31, 2016
https://www.trucks.com/2016/10/31/supertruck-program-5-year-phase/

Dubbed SuperTruck II, the five-year, $160-million program will see the same four teams of truck, engine and trailer builders from SuperTruck 1 attempt to move far beyond the successes they’ve already racked up. The teams spent $258 million – a combination of federal funding and their own money – on the first program.
