In addition, the front overhang was extended 1.2 inches and more than 200 rear quarter panel patterns were made and wind tunnel tested to counter the negative
aerodynamic effects of shortening the wheelbase (versus the 350Z).
Certain players already take advantage of
strange aerodynamic effects, too, says Rabindra Mehta, an aerodynamicist at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California.
Overall, the theme of the Nismo carries over; more power, bigger brakes, stiffer suspension, upgraded tires, lightweight wheels and body panels, and
hardcore aerodynamic effects.
A bold, angular new design adds aerodynamic upgrades to the already capable supercar, with a deployable rear wing and fully integrated under -
chassis aerodynamic effects.
Counteracting the rear decklid's
slippery aerodynamic effect is a small lip spoiler at the tail, and beneath the tiny trunk lies an insulated and quieted exhaust system, the same you'll find in the lower output 540C model that is not available in the U.S..
The sinister - looking Viper GTS R Concept was two inches wider and three inches lower than the normal street car, and featured
insane aerodynamic effects like a carbon - fiber front and rear splitter, along with a massive rear wing.
In general, cars with non-optimised aerodynamics tend to be free of
adverse aerodynamic effects on handling, but the front wheel arches, of all but the Series I, cause lift at high speeds.
«
Aerodynamic effects can save tens of seconds in cycling time trials.»
They record how the ride height of the car changes, how that changes in relation to
the aerodynamic effects, and how the steering balance then changes, and we've made a lot of discoveries from this data.
The aerodynamic effect of the track extension is a reduction in overall drag and an increase in front downforce of nearly one third.
