A very good example is the mg ex 181. With only a 290 hp 1.5 liter inline 4 it reached 395km/h (245mp/h) in 1957. After that they tuned the engine up to have 300hp in 1959 and it reached a top speed of 410km/h (254mp/h). It has a drag coefficient of 0.12.

[@evann5451]

The first question. It really depends on what aspect of aerodynamics you’re talking about. If you only focus on drag coefficient. Then race cars are the worst in aerodynamics. But if you look at the use of aerodynamics and downforce. Then race cars are better than every road car. They are designed to make as much downforce as possible at the expense of more drag and “dirty air” behind it

[@mo07r1]

Agreed, elementary explanations, but its a start..

[@theclockworkcadaver7025]

Why do you use full stops when you should be using commas?

[@JohnSmithM2C]

That's why F1 has drs

[@jeladsnikpoh1289]

What is my favorite (relatively) aerodynamic vehicle? Unquestionably the Chevrolet Corvette. A sports car that needs downforce, massive tires, and air ducts everywhere for cooling, etc. (hard to achieve a low Cd. with these requirements!). A stupid-fast car with V8 power that easily achieves over 30MPG if driven accordingly, looks gorgeous, surprisingly practical, reliable, and (relatively) easily obtainable. 'Murica 🇺🇸

[@goodguy4607]

I love to learn more about car engineering 😅😅

[@prajwalchavan4781]

An F1 can literally drive upside-down thanks to downforce or in this case up-force

[@prajwalchavan4781]

@@fullstrbull it theoretically can. No one's conducted the experiment in real life though

[@fullstrbull]

@@prajwalchavan4781 firstly the center of pressure has the be at the exact location of the center of gravity through x,y, however the CoP changes with velocity as its exponential meaning that point is not at a consistant point. secondly the tyres need enough weight/grip to be able to maintain the constant speed which it wont with the excess drag being produced

[@mohammadchegini57]

How about F1 cars!?😁

[@theflyingpatrol]

F1 cars have alot of drag, like alot. The drag co-efficient of an F1 car is literally 0.7. That’s worse than a minivan. BUT, let me explain why it has alot. Downforce needs drag to function. And downforce is very important on cornering speed and lateral grip.

[@iskandaralimubarok]

@@theflyingpatrol yeah you're right. And that's why the drivers must be really hard on the brake when they lose its front wing.

[@theflyingpatrol]

Iskandar Ali Mubarok yeah, front wing gone, alot of downforce gone. Imagine oneday the FiA banned front wing changes, itll be a lame sport now lol

To answer your question at 0:07, none of the above. The gen 1 Honda Insight is the most aerodynamic of them all.

The honda wasnt a choice lol, only the race car and minivan

[@いちか-r9n]

remember, the drag coefficient doesn't matter too much if there isn't enough downforce to keep it from flying off the track

It a bit hard to know, it could be many cars. Looks like some kind of concept, maybe a hyundai coupe or the lights wich looks like the one on a genesis g35

how to calculate the drag coefficient of a car without computer?

[@gabedarrett1301]

Drag force=(1/2)*rho*velocity^2*area*drag coefficient. If you know everything else through wind tunnel testing and measurements, you can solve for the drag coefficient via algebra

Is This possible?

[@AMakBTYT]

actually the EQS beats the Aclass with a CD of 0.202. The Hyundai ioniq 6 has a CD of 0.21 and the Mercedes EQXX has a CD of 0.17, although i dont think the EQXX is a production car, but this actually beats the Volkswagen XL1 (whic has a CD of 0.186) which was previously the car with the least CD

[@MrZubin007]

So that means the lower the Cd value the more car becomes aerodynamics.

[@Jakob178]

A Windtunnel do it all wrong the air isnt moving this fast on the street the object is moving. Its different behaivior if you move the medium or if you move the object like the car. We need better wind tunnels where cars actually drive through them without moving the air at all only moving the car nothing else. If you move air it act different than if it is stationary.

[@24pavlo]

NO NO NO NO Sienna does not have more aerodynamic design than M1. It has smaller drag coefficient which is basically drag divided by area. Since Sienna has significantly higher frontal area it has a smaller Cd but it has higher air resistance at the same speed than M1!!!
