    I am also having trouble downloading it :-(

    just smoke so they can visually see the boundary layer & the free flow layer.

    what is that white gas ?

    what speed were they simulating in that test?! from the looks of it, 30mph? it could just be the frame limitation of the camera, or the video format…. idk…. but it doesn’t appear to be putting much windspeed on it…..

    wow, that’s a damn good splitter

    it is not necessary the moving floor because any turbulence generated between the floor and the wind is minimal due to the laminar layer is very thin between them at that speed

    unfortunately no one has noticed that without a moving floor the above results are meaningless – more a marketing spin than proper aero testing.

    Wow that aerodynamic should give it a fine high speed performance. But doesnt that last fluid cools down the engine to much?

    i thought the airplane lift theory was corrected. its every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Air plane lift is by forcing the air down thus pushing the airplane up. Its not low/high pressure that people always thought or was taught in class.

    The splitter at the front works very uniformly and efficiently! It practically removes all of the air from the front and uses it to it’s advantage… Disappointed to see the drag behind the rear windscreen though…

    no wonder it’s fast

    I think u know nothing about aerodynamics, do u??

    it looks incredible but the shape of the front ruines the aerodymanics

    Well,

    The speed of the wind creates a vacuum behind the cabin

    The vacuum sucks the wind against the car, making it look like the wind is attached to the car.

    The only wind is in front of the car.

    This is how an airplane gets lift as well, as the speed of the air over the wing creates a low pressure zone, and is pushed upward by the higher pressure underneath the wing. This is why fast cars have spoilers, to counteract the lift created by their cabins.

    the wind is so strong that it pushes against the car and the angle of the fans keep it pushed down

    wow, has does the flow mamnage to stay attached over the roof? i did not expect this?!?! usually the flow would separate and you would see vorticies forming behind the cabin area…. cool stuff.

    lol those four or five ginourmous smoke trails are you telling very little about the actual aerodynamics of the car. what you see here is more done for marketing than anything else.

    hey , my dad has this car and it is amazing. he did have a bently c GTC and then he had it for 2 1/4 years and basiclly godt bored of it! so h went a bought a brand new pagani Zonda F. Trust it you go fast.. ITS FAST!!

    i said down force not air tunneling

    mewtwo150 // November 9th, 2009 at 12:05 pm

    are you suggesting that in the abscence of the the other winds, the penultimate (6th not 7th) wind would indeed lift the vehicle from its hood which would act as scoop for the wind?

    giganoto // November 9th, 2009 at 12:05 pm

    you could tell if it has a strong or weak downforce by looking at the wind that shoots at the roof just like in this vid the 7th wind spray(the top shot of wind) bends and thats the sighn of a strong downforce but if 3 or more wind shots does not bend its not much strong downforce instead it will fly at top speed
