Aeromodding a CVT equipped vehicle is a 2-birds-1-stone type of deal.

I have owned two cars with CVTs. They both had a range of ratios between minimum and maximum limits (600-700% range). I'm not sure about the Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive configuration and whether it has similar limits.
On the other hand an IVT would be capable of 120 MPH at idle speed, even 1000 MPH at idle speed. No limits to the range of ratios.
