Aero is pretty important. You're not hitting fuel efficiency standards without good aero.
Even if it were legal to sell, a car that uses 20% more fuel than its competition would be dead in the water in many markets no matter how easy it is to repair.
- stubish 3y agoIs that still the case on cars with a top speed of 50km/h?
- psd1 3y agoNot really - drag is proportional to velocity squared. There's little penalty to driving a brick at 30. You can feel the wind resistance on a bicycle at 30km/h, mind. The penalty is not zero. But we're discussing body styling for a given frontal area, so the possible improvements are more marginal than for a cyclist who adopts a racing tuck.
