On their web site, they write they currently have no plan for mass production.

Have they test it and measure the drag coefficient? How much does it improve?

They say nothing about the data.

It's hard to tell, but it looks like the rear wheel is very narrow, almost like a motorcycle wheel/tire. If they can reduce the contact area between the road and tire, that should reduce drag. Not sure what effect that would have on handling? Anyone know?

Also, I'm wondering if they are using the small prius jack to hold up the piece of trim that is connected to the rear fender skirt.

That left rear looks like the temporary spare...the yellow's a give away.

The finished car looks great. Just wish I could buy the wheel skirts.
