Sentences with phrase «more downforce as»

Aerodynamics — In addition to the usual wings and diffusers attached to the cars, this Ferrari has active aerodynamic aids (also known as fans) to extract air from under the car and provide even more downforce as needed.

Not exact matches

There are a number of reasons for this - as well as the obvious loss of downforce, by following in the wake of another car the dirty air generated causes the follower to slide around and overheat their tyres, which makes the idea of a driver dropping a couple of seconds behind a rival a more effective strategy.

The reduced downforce also has the knock - on effect of tyres taking longer to come up to operating temperature (there are no tyre warmers in IndyCar) as well as making them wear out quicker because the drivers are sliding around more.

That will almost certainly not be the case in 2017 as, like in F1, the regulations have changed to allow for faster cars with more downforce and more power, which should make for some spectacular viewing.

That pushing force is then lost (in fact, the downforce from the weight may even reduce the energy - absorbing effects of your running shoes over time as the soles get more and more compressed from the lifting).

The remaining areas of non-structural bodywork are still subject to evolution and change as Adrian [Newey] continues to explore way of finding more downforce.»

This time, two bodystyles were offered for the same car — although as they were the same length it's not accurate to call them «short» and «long» tails, more like high downforce and low drag.

Though it's a pretty design, it's not all for show, as McLaren says the 650S has 24 percent more aerodynamic downforce at 150 mph than the 12C.

Nissan goes so far as to claim the Nismo Z has more downforce than any sector rival.

As if the standard car's performance wasn't impressive enough, Aston Martin has extracted more power from the V12, taking total power past 1100bhp, dropped the weight to 1000 kg, and grafted an aero package on that generates 1000 kg of downforce.

The eight - setting Motec traction control and 12 - setting Bosch ABS system can be dialed in from a ««Knight Rider» - style steering wheel, and more than twice the downforce as the road car is delivered courtesy of an adjustable rear spoiler the size of a park bench.

To me the straight line performance doesn't feel as crazy as, say, a Radical SR8, but the downforce level feels higher and because it's so tiny you can cut cleaner, more efficient lines around the circuit.

MINI claims the aero qualities of the car are improved, too, but makes no specific claims about downforce, so take it as read that there is a little bit less lift than before, but not much more than that.

The line gains in momentum once again as it heads rearwards, increasing aerodynamic downforce and giving the rear a more muscular look at the same time.

As a result there's 50 per more downforce in the low drag configuration and 30 per cent more in the more aggressive configuration.

Although the aerodynamics package does not produce the same levels of downforce as the GT1 car, the C6.R is more predictable over a wide range of speeds.

This upgrade of the GT3 in its design and contours serves above all to optimise the car's aerodynamics: The modifications increase downforce both on the front and rear axle, ensu - ring more than twice as much downforce overall as on the former GT3.

The rear end is characterized by a huge center exhaust with dual round tips that are surrounded by a matte black plastic «diffuser» that generates more second glances than downforce and the same high rump and beetlelike taillamps as the non-turbo model.

But even more impressive are Apollo's claims the IE's maximum cornering grip is equal to two times the force of gravity and that as the car nears its top speed all that wild aero generates more than the car's curb weight — 1,350 kg — in downforce.

New side intakes feed the radiators for improved cooling and there's new 5 - spoke 650S alloys get Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres for better performance and the active aerodynamics have been further developed for more downforce and increased stability as well as a new air brake clever enough to know when it's needed.

For added aero stick there's that massive rear wing and — as part of the 2008 factory RSR redo — redesigned air outlets ahead of the front wheel wells that both lower drag and evacuate more air for increased downforce.

As in previous years, the 370Z NISMO Tech's GT - R - inspired functional and fully integrated aerodynamic body pieces provide an aggressive and more aerodynamic appearance, along with optimizing front and rear downforce (versus non-NISMO 370Z models).

As the new Z06 is considerably more powerful than the base Stingray, it needed some extra downforce to keep it planted on the race track.

It generates 30 pounds more aerodynamic downforce in front thanks to a more prominent lip below the front bumper and positive downforce (as opposed to lift) in back — largely a function of reworked underbody shields.

There is 50 - percent more downforce compared to the 458, as well as reduced drag.

The 650S benefits from the same slippery 0.36 drag coefficient as the previous McLaren MP4 - 12C, except that the 650S wrings 24 percent more downforce out of the same coefficient of drag at 150 MPH.

The rear wing is complemented by additional carbon - fiber flics on the front skirt, which further increase downforce at the front axle, as opposed to the more inward - lying standard carbon - fiber flics, which optimize airflow into the cooling modules.

There's no word on performance specs as of this writing, but given that the BT62 tips the scales at only 972 kg (2,143 pounds) and generates more than 1,200 kg (2,646 pounds) of downforce, it's safe to assume that the supercar hits 60 mph in less than three seconds.

As yet a further point the car's aerodynamics develop even more downforce than on the GT3, again benefiting the qualities of the car on the race track.

They are at least as powerful as GT1 cars, often more so, have a lower minimum weight limit, larger brakes, wider wheels and more aerodynamic downforce.

As a final option for the rear wing, you can get the adjustable system from 1016 Industries, quick release pins combined with custom - made bearings allow a simple, yet strong way to perform adjustments based on what the customer wants to achieve at that time... more downforce or maximum top speed.
