Default Wind Tunnel C1-6

As the title indicates, the video below shows generations 1-6 in a wind tunnel. Saw this in the Ask Tadge section and thought it was interesting. Would have been much cooler if there had been cameras set up on the side and behind the cars, as well. Interesting all the same. Enjoy.

Here's the article with pics. Its interesting that they say the C3 is the only car tested that achieved downforce with the addition of a small lip spoiler.
