    Sphere - A very good aerodynamic shape because of it symmetrical shape. Which allows air to flow over it's surface with very little disruption to the air stream. A combination of basic shapes will yield the best results. This equation has to do with how much weight is over the front and rear of the vehicle.

  • What power is needed to propel a car?

    In addition to these two types of resistances, the vehicle has to overcome grade resistance when it moves up on a gradient, because the weight of the vehicle is to be lifted through a vertical distance. Hence, the power required to propel a vehicle is proportional to the total resistance to its motion and the speed.

  • What is the drag coefficient of a Toyota Prius?

    Cd 0.25
    It slips through the air with a remarkable drag coefficient of just Cd 0.25, which has secured its position as the world's most aerodynamic hatchback as well as one of the most instantly recognisable.
