I did not realise the competition when I started. this thread so I now think that the Kamm must have some beneficial effect and not be just cosmetic .
For instance the DB6 was meant to have created about 100 lbs downforce at three figure speeds whereas the DB5 was deemed to be unstable at these speeds.
A Shelby Daytona gained perhaps 20 mph on the Mulsanne straight.

I can't find a picture of my own at the moment, but the TR6 has a splendid Kamm tail, one of the best features of the car's restyling IMO. Should always be matt black of course.

The TR6 has got to be one of the most successful modernising "tricks" ever. It looks so different from the TR5 while sharing many of it's panels.![](http://www.mossmotoring.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/tr62.jpg)

Where does the Alfa Giulia saloon fit in the definition? It's not a teardrop coupe yet the tail apparently aided the excellent aerodynamics and it was quoted in period as having a 'Kamm' tail.

Think that's the old Volvo set-square school of design than a kamm tail ![](http://thumbsnap.com/sc/XIbzTeLu.jpg)
