With April fools day just around the corner car makers are trying to lift the industry gloom by offering mockups of their latest inventions.
First up is the Kia Soul with its bolt on spoiler known as the Air Propulsion and Retardation Installation Line.
Designed to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions this simple and low cost system relies on small sensors built into the front and rear bumpers which monitor external wind speed and deploy panels when the wind is sufficient to provide additional directional impetus according to the car’s behaviour.
The system is code marked A.P.R.I.L. for those Soul owners wishing to add it to their accessory list.
