That one stat above looks like it more properly belongs..
.. in the 'most bizarrely top-hat air intake scoop'.. ..or 'biggest F1 car mobile billboard'.. thread..
Was a radiator slotted in there?

There were a lot of crazy aero things going on in the late '60s and '70s, but as weird as they are I am always fascinated seeing them, seeing how people were experimenting new ideas back in the days.
Keep the pictures coming, guys.

What do you mean go fast enough? It's one of the fastest time attack cars in the world. Same laptime as a Formula 3 car, despite being on road legal tires.
That Car has the most aero downforce of any car ever made. That includes Group C
beating they Veyron's top speed using only 20% throttle. The Acabion GTBO is said to top out at around 340mph (close to 550kmh) if you're game enough to hold on to 50% throttle, and with engines varying from 350 to 750 horsepower, it's a very serious piece of kit... Even if it does have training wheels.

Do you know how much air flow velocity and amount you need to fill a tunnel that big? I ? My experience tells me that he will have flow separation in the diffuser itself and that this air flow will not be pretty to watch in CFD with streamlines.
In the following video (couldn't find a more recent one with speed displayed) he is not exceeding 265km/h:
Not enough to fill that diffuser. Have you got downforce and drag numbers to add? I have those of some of the group C machines.
