Alot of the EV1 drag was thanks to it being an EV. No where near the cooling drag effect of a typical ICE engine radiator/condenser/engine bay drag. Then also doesnt have to deal with as much exit air from the bay having to go under the car.
I keep seeing alot of small engine cars in car parks and its obvious that the Insight bumper aperature and grill really is a bit OTT.
Id love to see some foam inserts made up for the aperature to narrow it then just fibreglass over it. Smoothing out the grill extending the bonnet leading edge may pay off aswell.
