Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid sets new Land Speed Record

Yeah, no worries about that happening.

Aero add-ons available aftermarket from the builder? Likely not enough demand for that either.

It is definitely easier to see that the rear spoiler in the top view is a poor photoshop effort!

Also, what's up with the reflection of the front wheel in the top view? It looks like at first they were going with moon eye type discs, then switched to the fancy air blenders, but forgot to change the reflection.
