The Smallest of Them All

Well, we probably have yet to see the smallest. But this is the smallest we can get by far, of course that is until someone could provide us with a photo of a soil-ploughing Ceria. Just like lawnmowers, soil ploughers come in a batch of sizes, from those humongous with big bad ass wings, to those with a size of midgets with a not-so-much power to burst through those dual exhausts. But no matter what size they are, believe me, they do a hell of a soil-ploughing, hahaha.

But come to think of it, with diffusers that thick, do they even work?

Facts:
KIA Visto, B 8691 F, BSD Tolls.
Thanks to B for the photo.

  • The sad thing is that the owner probably thinks that his car is the hottest shit out there ….

    At any rate, to the future picture takers. If you see a car with dual exhausts like this Visto, try to see if both tailpipes have soot in them. If one is clean, that side is only there just for show, i.e. it’s hanging in there not connected.

    Regarding functions. Diffusers need to extend quite deep into the car. Something that short does nothing. Worst case scenario, that bumper becomes an aerodynamic drag. The wind passing underneath the car gets “caught up” by the low hanging edge and it flows into the inside of the rear bumper acting as air dam/air brakes. Effectively killing fuel economy (at higher speed) and top speed.

    Which, actually, is a good thing. Most ricers can’t drive worth of shit. So, employing air brakes keeps them from driving too fast. It’s like a self-preservation :D
