interesting air dam configuation on new insight

interesting air dam configuation on new insight



after the weird blocks that appeared on the concept the production version of the new honda insight has some interesting wheel dam configuration



appart from "normal dams" it also has airmans at the beginning of the bumper.
these appear on other vehicles as well but i always thought them to be a less than optimal solution.

the fact they both appear on a vehicle that might be seen a s a benchmark of state of the art aero should mean they work.

the front dams remind me most of the dams on the calibra wich had these lower dams in front of the wheels
