    Huh....
    Does it look like the rear wing has morphed into something hideous? Strange looking beast of a wing. I always thought it was most effective positioned in the airflow up above the roof. Looks like a Pep Boys "stick-on". I guess wind tunnel work can create strange births.

    Looks like a case of form following function to me. It's a rally car after all. If it makes the car faster then heck yes put an ugly appendage on. No way that car is ever going to win a beauty contest anyway. It's beauty has to come from its speed. I wish them luck. :Thumbsup:

    Yes, pretty ugly wing. :arf:

    It sounds like they detuned the engine a bit or they took out the killer bees. :aureola:

    I would still like to see it do well. :)
