Hello -

In a post I can't find, aerohead said that the original S-Series coupe would be a good platform for aero-stuff. It's also light, so it would be good for electrics. It was even a mule for the GM EV-1. Here is a side view :



You can see the very-close-to-covered wheels, clean flowing lines, and the swoopy nose.

Here is the front view :



The small front radiator opening is typical of a lot of late 1980's aero-designs. What I hadn't noticed before is what appear to be front wheel deflectors on each side. I am positive that between those deflectors would be a black plastic deflector to deflect air onto the radiator.
