Honda working on active aero
23 October 2009
Honda is working on active aerodynamics for its next generation of cars, and will introduce the technology within five years.
Nobuki Ebisawa, Honda's R and D managing director, said active aero would be introduced to get away from the high, cut off tail that characterises cars such as the Insight and forthcoming CR-Z.
This is the optimum shape for improving air flow over the roof and rear of the car.
But Ebisawa said there were other solutions to cutting drag and improving aerodynamic efficiency that wouldn't have such an effect on the way a car looked.
