Hood Lifting At High Speeds

[Charles147]

My curiosity is how the hood behaves with a fake hood scoop added. I would think the scoop would upset the hood even more.

Doesn't sound right. What about the EB and V6's?

They can't go that fast in stock form.

It's in the aerodynamics video from Ford, demonstrating the purpose of those vents.

You can see the vent in action at around the 1:30 mark.

EU-spec:
EB: 145 MPH
GT: 155 MPH
Neither have the hoodscoops.
They WILL be driven this fast on the Autobahn in Germany.

cool video, great info. i especially liked the part where he talked about the hood vents. i thought they were just for "heat extraction"

I wonder if they mean build up of heat and the extractors help release that heat pressure and not in a sense that the extractors help aerodynamics because the EB and V6 can reach high speeds as well.

I gather EB's and V6 may experience a slight increase in mpg if they add the hood vents because it adds aerodynamics?
