Hyundai Ioniq with ASTII Overlay...Surprise....not

So I'm looking at the Hyundai Prius chaser, gets a bit better mileage & all. Wondered if the shape matched the template.



Hi Res copy here to look at.

I'd say it's spot on.

Very cool. It looks like carmakers are willing to leave less on the table these days.

The Ioniq is the most efficient EV and hybrid, at the moment. So that confirms the aero is good.

Right, got it right in one plane. Plan view would be worth a bunch more. Saw an EV1 at work the other day, really narrow in the back...

Good for you.

You have to start somewhere, and the side profile is the easiest to do first.

I'm sure +25 years from now when most of us are dead and all vehicles are tear dropped shaped, what we think is advanced now will look like some stone-age Flintstone mobile.
