Walky? Wind Tunnel, I don't see how those things combine. Hamoud, Wind tunnels are like flesh tunnels, but usually you try and stay out of the wind tunnel.

yes the walky was 110% designed in a wind tunnel by, you guessed it, Tom Walkinshaw. and answering the first question, the walky was not the first street car in the world to be designed in a wind tunnel.

I think the first windtunnel designed car was an audi... Maybe an Audi 80? I remember reading a Wheels article on it. But maybe that was just the first mass produced one? I cant remember for certain.
