In these videos on Porsche Taycan Aerodynamics, we’ll take the car from the studio to the street to compare tuft movement to simulation data.
A coastdown test is one of the most common tests in the automotive industry. It is a way of measuring the mechanical and aerodynamic resistance that acts on a vehicle.
Interview: Henrik Fisker Talks About the World’s Most Sustainable Vehicle
Lowie Vermeersch is a famous Belgian car designer. In this two-part interview, we walk through his career, starting at the TU Delft in Holland all the way to running his own design studio–Granstudio–in Turin, the heart of the Italian car design Industry.
The breaking glass during the unveiling of the Tesla Cybertruck wasn’t the only shock: the exterior design completely breaks with the hyper-streamlined styling of the other Tesla models.
So whether you’re cycling at 30 km/hr, transporting cargo at a 100 km/hr or racing at 300 km/hr, aerodynamics matter big time.
Built around the upcoming Tesla Semi truck, this AirShaper video explains why aerodynamic drag is responsible for well over half of your battery or fuel consumption.
