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 ...

The Tesla Semi is certainly futuristic. However, this is not simply because it's a Tesla and it's supposed to be unique. Instead, it's designed to be as aerodynamic as possible, which is no easy feat ...

Even though the Rivian R1T looks fairly conventional and quite similar to other trucks, at least in terms of its overall look and proportions, its makers say it is considerably more aerodynamically ...

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 ...

The Tesla Cybertruck could breeze through the air, CEO Elon Musk suggested over the weekend. The company’s upcoming all-electric pickup truck, due to start manufacturing in late 2021, could attract ...

I've gleaned a bit more about Formula 1 Drag Reduction Systems, this information coming from no less than Peter Wright, FIA technical advisor, R&T contributing editor (and a most cordial conference ...

When we first saw the original Tesla Cybertruck, we quickly questioned the aerodynamics of its origami wedge shape. That pointy roof looked like a sure-fire turbulence generator, and turbulent flow is ...

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 ...

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 ...

Why is your EV so efficient on paper, but loses range at high speeds or in winter? We walk through the physics of drag, battery vs fuel energy, heating losses, and what you can do to stretch every kWh ...

In fluid dynamics, the drag coefficient is a dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment such as air or water. It is used in the drag ...
