I removed the cross bars on my 2019 Toyota RAV4. My beloved queried, “What for?” I said to eliminate the jet propulsion din if we open the moonroof AND to get better mileage. “How much better?” she ...
The Toyota GR GT is unlike most cars, even most sports cars. It was engineered in terms of aerodynamics before it was ...
With gasoline and diesel powered vehicles, particularly when fuel costs are low, aerodynamic design is largely a matter of style. Electric vehicles, however, can’t recharge as easily, quickly, or ...
It was a red Lamborghini Countach, parked with its scissor doors open to let the sunlight in, what most probably sparked Alex's love for cars. Even though he was less than three years old when he saw ...

In nature, the most aerodynamic shape is that of a drop of water, which has a coefficient of drag (Cd) of 0.05. Unfortunately, this is not a practical shape for a vehicle. An object's Cd, or how much ...
This course is targeted to professionals who work or who are interested in the area of vehicle aerodynamics and aeroacoustics. The professionals can be technicians or engineers who either are ...
For 30 years, engineers have used the GM Aerodynamics Laboratory to improve fuel economy by helping cars and trucks slip through the air more easily. Put into operation in Warren in August 1980, the ...
In today’s automotive world, aerodynamics are crucial: influencing every aspect of a car from performance to fuel efficiency, aerodynamics are taken into account at every step of the design process.
The auto industry is making a major move to smaller gas engines and electric vehicles, but changes in how cars are powered alone won't be enough. Our vehicles will need to become more efficient in ...
At what speed does aerodynamics start to make a difference? I'm talking like a body kit that you put on a car can it really have that much of and effect on performance? Say you had a car it weighs ...
