The coefficient of drag is based on the frontal area of the car, the slipperyness and the underside has no effect on the Cd.

I quote: "While achieving a breakthrough Cd number was never a must-do goal of the 23A project, the body engineers were also determined to at least equal the wind tunnel performance of the XT6. In the final tally, the U.S. version of the SVX comes in at 0.29, same as the sharp-edged XT, offering dramatic proof that all cars which have been refined in the wind tunnel don't necessarily have to end up looking alike. The European-spec car proves to be slightly better, at 0.285, due to a larger undertray below the engine."
