And the ability to reproduce cars in 1/4 scale with a degree of accuracy that would provide relevant results.

oh wow. I just read somewhere (RCE, probably) that they stopped using it and are CFD only now. It'd be fun to go to the auction just to see their shop.
I wonder why they are selling it all
Swift are now almost exclusively into military R & D, specializing in UAVs, and found they could do a better-faster-cheaper job with server clusters running CFD than they could get with that tunnel, which is so small that the Reynolds Numbers are unreliable on the scale models they could fit into it. They have been trying to give the tunnel away for a couple of years, but had no takers.
