Is Your Car A Bit Chubby? Get It On The Treadmill.

Filed in Cool , Funnny / Fun / Weird 2 comments

Who’d have thought that not actually getting anywhere would look like so much fun?

It may look like a model car but it’s not. It’s a massive treadmill called WindShear produced specifically to test the aerodynamics of new vehicles.

‘Haas CNC Racing NASCAR team owner Gene Haas in conjunction with Jacobs Engineering has created the first rolling road testing facility in the United States known as WindShear Inc. The one-millimeter thick continuous steel belt will roll at over 180mph, and features sensors under the bed that can take readings at each wheel. At top speed the wind tunnel fan will circulate 2.85 million cubic feet of air per minute!’

I’d kill for a go on that.
