W/O using googlefu , what is the most aerodynamic production car ever built ? I'm guessing the Honda Insight is at the top of the list .

 Dusty

Volkswagen XL1. Limited production, but still "production".

Back in 2014, at the famous Barrett-Jackson car auction, I saw and sat in this 3-wheeled ELEO.  They were supposedly going to be manufactured in Phoenix and retail for about $8500.   :shocked: :huh: :rolleyes:

Don't know what ever happened to them, but I suspect the many ELECTRIC vehicles coming out and to market will now surpass what they were trying to achieve... :wink:

the Citoren DS, argued by many to be the single most advanced leap in production vehicles in a single model.

My late father always liked these...1963 Studebaker AVANTI

...me?  Not so much, although the design was arguably very interesting... :cool:

I think the Avanti was just wonderful.  That and the '53 Starlight Coupe.

I've never ridden in either one but they were styled way ahead IMO.
