It is ironic but sports car generally has bad aerodynamics.
The worst is round car like TT and bug. The aerodynamics of TT was so bad, its got a rear wing shortly after to make the car stable but the wing itself is a drag.
I imagine Elise is one of the worst as well, considering how much curves it has around the side of the car. Lotus knows it and they made the side flat on the TwoEleven track car for the perfomance purpose.

The best ones are probably Prius and Insight.
