AERODYNAMICS
DESCRIPTION
To improve aerodynamic performance, the following measures have been taken.
The shapes of the front pillar, outside rear view mirror, and the front windshield glass have been optimized
to achieve a smooth air flow.
The height and the shape of the front bumper have been optimized in order to rectify the airflow under the
floor and along the body sides.
The shapes of the engine undercover, fuel tank bottom surface, and the rear floor bottom surface have been
optimized to achieve a smooth underbody air flow.
A front and rear fairings are provided to smooth out the airflow around the tires and reduce the air resis-
tance while the vehicle is in motion.
