2017 Porsche 911 Carrera experienced from the passenger seat
https://www.autoblog.com/2015/09/26/2016-porsche-911-carrera-turbo-details/

Quote:
If you're wondering what to call the standard 911 now that they have turbocharged engines, the answer is: Carrera. Krickelberg said, "In-house we call them 'little turbo' and 'big turbo,'" but the Carrera is a model line within the 911 model line, the big boy 911 Turbo is a second model line within the 911 family. One will continue to be called Carrera, the other simply Turbo.

The cars : Ford Sierra development story
https://www.aronline.co.uk/cars/ford/sierra/the-cars-ford-sierra-development-history/

Quote:
The Sierra had been developed without prior knowledge of the C3-generation Audi 100’s highly aerodynamic shape, which made aerodynamics de-rigueur. Of then-current production models, the Sierra’s drag coefficient of 0.34 had only been beaten by the Porsche 924 and Citroen GS. And as for its middle market rivals, no-one had come close to that figure.

Referred to as an ‘aeroback’ design by its creators on account of its bustle at the rear, the Sierra sported a similar body shape to the recently launched Escort Mk3 (known internally as Erika). The later XR4i improved on the standard car’s Cd figure by incorporating sculptured side panels to control air resistance across the wheel faces, as well as its iconic bi-plane rear spoiler. The result was a very impressive Cd of 0.32.

................This revolution in mainstream car styling was impressive enough for the Sierra to be displayed in England’s Victoria and Albert museum during 1982.
