The 40% scale wind tunnel mode, here in the car's final form. |
The 02S wind tunnel model borrowed heavily from the 2KQ/01Q model program, as can be seen from this image of the 02S wind tunnel model in a very early iteration (the 5th tunnel test here, late May, early June 2001). At this point the rear bodywork, tail, and rear wing are clear 2KQ/01Q carry overs. Here a Lola B01/60-esque rear "Coke bottle" duct, ahead of the rear wheel, is being tested. By test 5, L/D was hovering around 3.8 to 4.0:1. |
