Funny that back then you know they weren't wind-tunnel testing (at least.... I don't think so?)
If only it weighed 2000lbs less... cars back in those days were verrrry heavy and made no power almost it seems.
Either way, the concept alone of that kind of aerodynamic efficiency for that day and age, VERY cool!

They were windtunnel testing.They were 30-years ahead of the U.S..The Tatra is of Paul Jaray's(of the Zeppelin works) design
.He and Klemperer are the ones that by 1922,pretty much had figured out everthing that was ever going to be figured out about vehicle aerodynamics.
