How Aerodymic Is The Elio

[JEBar]

apparently, the production Elio will be even more aerodynamic than the P4 .... they are reported to be reshaping the nose for that purpose .... having also stated that they need another couple of mpg's to get to 84, I can't help but wonder if the redesign might put them over

....Technically speaking.

But of course!!

Anyone have any figures on how aerodymic the Elio is? How does it compare to the Prius?

Here is an example of a VERY aerodynamic automobile: http://www.wired.com/2014/09/german-aerodynamic/

Keep in mind there are two prime elements to aerodynamics, the coefficient of drag and the cross section. Together they determine the aerodynamic drag.
The elio is maybe not as good of a cd than the Prius if you include the front wheels, but greatly lower cross section. So the overall drag is better than the prius.
