S2/RS2 avant race car????

It's pretty much impossible for an estate to have better aerodynamics,
if you understand how aerodynamics works.
The estate has a great big flat ish back end, this is not good as it
creates a big hole of negative pressure causing drag,
ideally you want the back of the car to taper slowly to a point to keep the air
attached as long as possible and for it only to break free from a very small
area.
See diagram of a streamlined shape below.

Think of a falling water droplet. Drag shapes the droplet into its most aerodynamic shape - a teardrop

[recall]

Well after all that has gone on looks like the avant is going to be my new time attack car.

Probably not the best analogy...
