Disagree, look at the Audi R15. Aston was one of the outfits who were behind the push with the ACO to impart road car styling for future LMP regulations and I think their Lola exercise was more about styling than aerodynamics. I'll go as far to say that they didn't find any substantial aero gains, that their singular task was styling that didn't hurt the Lola's aero.
