Grill shutters!

The New 2011 Ford Fusions are advertising this for more fuel aerodynamic efficiency.

Will this be another modern trick to incorperate into our race cars.

Old school , some of us have been blocking off the grill Fixed for years at the expense of a cooling airflow.

Teams have been doing this for years... look at NASCAR,

Actually on the old trucks it was to keep the temp up in cold weather.That why you see a lot of new ones with covers over the rad opening.Rocky

"Winter fronts" have been around since the thirties but not for aerodynamics.
