This week I posted a thread about a YouTube video about/by Aerovironment that showcased the company's accomplishments and explained their philosophy.

There were a few seconds of footage of the GM Impact (EV1 prototype) and Sunraycer in the wind tunnel.

I captured a few frames. Not great, but still interesting ...

From approx. 3:15

From approx. 4:00
