Hi Ross - as it's been a week and no-one has come back with a precise answer, the rule of thumb used by hyper-milers (for obvious reasons they like to compare the total drag of cars) was to multiply the width without mirrors by the height, by 0.85. This takes into account that cars are not square, but cant inwards top and bottom, plus have air (albeit turbulent air) underneath. 

So, width of an LS460 without mirrors is 1.875m, height is 1.465m. Therefore frontal area would be ~2.33 square metres, and CdA is ~0.61 square metres. Obviously not precise numbers, but close enough for most things. 

What's the plan then; working out how much power you would need to crack 200mph? 😀
