Some cars slice the air. These legendary bricks fight it, from vintage icons to modern track monsters, proving style and ...

The case for streamlined cars isn't new - for decades, mankind has searched for higher top speeds, especially in racing. And because aerodynamics is by far the most dominant force to overcome at high ...

A few years ago, an Italian automotive journalist asked a designer from a major automaker a simple question during an informal conversation: why do manufacturers still insist on building tall, heavy ...

Antony Ingram June 23, 2011 Comment Now! Think automotive aerodynamics and you'll either think of aerodynamic components for reducing lift or increasing downforce, or you'll think of streamlined, ...

A SuperTruck is weird thing. It's a multi-million science experiment designed to push the envelope of freight efficiency, but it's not a zero emission platform. It's just a truck... in the same sense ...

Mercedes-Benz is working on the replacement of the CLS, which was the car that started the four-door coupe craze when its first generation came out. The CLS was an impressively aerodynamic model when ...

Scientists in Europe researching aerodynamic forces have opened up some interesting new avenues of study inspired by fish scales. This new understanding of the flow patterns over the surface of the ...

In the early decades of the automobile, engineers took on the challenge of adapting airplane design to cars. Many of these streamline cars were done just for style, but Karl Schlör had something else ...

Adding aerodynamic devices to smooth airflow over the vehicle at highway speeds is a (relatively) cheap and easy way for fleets to improve fuel economy in long-haul tractor-trailer applications. But ...

Among the sciences and practices involved in building an automobile, aerodynamics is one of the most important. Creating a car that can efficiently cut through or manipulate the air around it is a ...
