Most performance car projects begin the same way. Owners look for additional horsepower, bigger superchargers, more aggressive camshafts or increasingly ambitious engine upgrades. The logic is simple: ...

Early car aerodynamic development focused on physical observation rather than simulation. Wind tunnels were first developed for aviation during the 1870s and were used by pioneers such as the Wright ...

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 ...

For the 2022 season, Formula 1 race cars have aerodynamically smooth wheels, with flat covers attached across the previously open face. Their goal is to reduce the aerodynamic turbulence created by ...

As aerodynamics has become crucially important for success in motorsports, responsibilities for aerodynamic development have become increasingly specialized, leading to potential confusion regarding ...

From smoke trails and wind tunnels to CFD and AI, why car aerodynamics evolved into a digital-first engineering discipline. Early automotive aerodynamics relied on wind tunnels and visual tools like ...
