Does Any1 Know If Walkys Were The First Street Car In The World To Be Designed In A Windtunnel

The first designed in a wind tunnel NO The most wild looking to make it into production Probably Corsa

so the corsa was the 1st

i heard walkys were?

First Australian car wasn't it??

I heard the VL GRP A was (HDT one) designed using a wind tunnel, or at least tested.

Standard Holden Commodores had been tested in wind tunnels before the VL was released. GM in the US had the first full size windtunnel. There was a magazine article on their windtunnel i came accross a few days ago. If you read some of the other ealry mags on the release of new models etc then you will find mentions of Earlier commodores undergoing wind tunnel testing even if it was only a scale model version etc. Corsa

so walkys were disigned in a windtunnel yes/no

Designed in a wind tunnel yes I'd say so Other cars were tested in wind tunnels but Walky was actually designed using one Corsa?

wtfs a wind tunnel????

Lol

From what I've heard, the drivers complained when the VN came in because of its lack of downforce compared to the walky, because the walky was designed in the wind tunnel, while the vn wasn't.

LOL VN was first to be designed out at sea... being the boat that it is.. Yeah I heard Walkies were designed in a windtunnel, actually over in England initially.

In England at night cause the windtunnel sucked to much electricity out of the power grid,so there ya have it,those wild door moulds reduce drag

there was designing going on with the vn? i thought they just picked that idea out of the toilet one morning

One of the designers sons had a school project on boats and they made a model boat out of a VL buy adding playdough to a original VL model... Next morning the car builders picked up the wrong model and thats how the VN was made.. .. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

TWR used the MIRA wind tunnel in the UK to design the Gp. A SV kit. The tunnel used a pair of Lancaster bomber propellors powered by large electric motors to create a fair breeze of up to 240 km/h. Because of the rapid pace of development, the town's grid could not keep up with the demand and most of the work was done at night to avoid power shortages. It was not the first street car in the world to be designed with the use of a wind tunnel, not by a long shot.

what about the ferarri's? no wind tunnels for them?
