1996 Giannini FIAT Bravo Windsurf Concept! It had a drag coefficient of 0.24 (the result of a lot of wind tunnel testing), the rear wing was adjustable for downforce, and it supposedly had a top speed of over 250kph with the Bravo’s stock 2.0L engine as the body was so light and aerodynamic.
I think I like it.

It’s hideous but I want one. It’s interesting.

My thoughts exactly! It’s so overdesigned, it somehow circles back to a point of being cool. :P
I actualy quite like the way the Bravo’s odd three-piece taillights are moulded into the bodywork on the back!
Plus, the styling line that follows the length of the body and sweeps up into the wing is interesting!

The 2.0 5-pot? Awesome. It looks glorious!

First thought while scrolling on the main page: Holy crap somebody really messed up that Mitsubishi Eclipse!
Crazy cool car, thanks for sharing

I like how the back is so swoopy and smooth, then the front has a brutish bumper that looks like it belongs on a 4x4.

I dig it, the top and the wing could be a bit flatter, but that would probably hurt the aero I guess

That’s kind of neat!
But those were the best wheels they could come up with?

The wheels are not amazing, it has to be said.
They do somewhat remind me of Viper rims though!

I agree on the wing being flatter...it looks cool, but seems a bit bulky for my tastes!

It has a very weird dichotomy between the front and back, but it just sortof works!

It does look vaguely Mitsu-esque, eh? I’d never heard of it until this morning! :)

Interesting... I have always wanted to take a car and the “aero” mods people make for them and test them in a tunnel and see what actually works.
