they are small for a 200mph car, not long, wide or tall and the people that drives them are small too.
If you are not 5' 5" under then you will have a hard time driving them. they are smaller than our e60.
Ok i get you...
Why should a fast car be big btw?!
A kart is about 1+meter in length and about 1m in width and it can travel to 125mph. And it weighs nothing btw...

A fast car should be designed as small as posable, for light and speed and mpg.
and most importen is that you will be able to drive it in the city like HK with very small lanes.
I know that there is no place for a Bugatti Veyron to drive it in HK inland

i thought it was ment for the downforce. I mean yeah all wings slow the car down more or less, especially at top speeds but didn't think that much power braking from a wing. I think the SLR has the same thing. Not really sure how much braking those wings do especially if they were designed for that.
Would be nice to see in how many kms a car stops from top speed only by the braking of the wing.
Now a parachute would be smth different Like on those dragsters.
I am not too sure about slowing the car down, maybe it helps a little. But the wing does help stabilze the rear under heavy braking.

the rear wing adds almost .5g in deceleration... if you dont know anything about physics, then its your problem.
