A Cd of just 0.19, 0-60 in just over 8secs and fuel efficiency at

same here.
the famous box fish car, one of the most aerodynamic cars that exist.

Its amazing that how much aerodynamics play a role in the car. With a 1.9l engine, it manages 70 mpg.

I see that future cars would be based on fishes.
