Aside from being responsible with catching the eye of the customers, the design of a car is in part accountable for the performances of any given vehicle. And one of the most important figures car ...
A car's drag coefficient affects how much power it's exerting and how fast it's going. But the actual science behind it is a bit more complicated.
With a sci-fi body built in Italy and tested in Lockheed's wind tunnel, the 1983 Ford Probe IV's drag coefficient is still lower than any production car today.
Dutch electric vehicle startup Lightyear is edging closer to realizing production of its sleek 0 sedan, which is being developed to be as efficient as possible. This efficiency mantra extends to the ...
A few weeks ago, we took a look at the most aerodynamically efficient vehicles ever made. At the time, the lowest-drag production car for sale in the US was the Porsche Taycan, which cuts through the ...
Since the electric car revolution took us by storm, the modern auto industry got littered with the corpses of defunct start-ups, but also with the embryos of those planning to launch something in the ...
The Tesla Cybertruck may look like it landed from another planet, but its design has another big merit besides the wow factor: it's very aerodynamic for a pickup truck. The Cybertruck's drag ...
A low drag coefficient (Cd) is very important for maximizing range, leading automakers to push for more aerodynamic EVs. The Nio EC7, the Chinese automaker's new flagship SUV, is yet another example ...
The next generation of electric vehicles is taking the art of reducing aerodynamic drag to a new, much lower level. Not since the low-slung, streamlined General Motors EV1 from the late 1990s and the ...
Tesla recently confirmed that the base version of the Model 3 will be able to travel over 215 miles on a single charge with a battery pack “smaller than 60 kWh”. The relatively small battery capacity ...
