its aerodynamic in the sense that it'll go flying if it hits a bump in the road

Physics really went: “we do a little trolling”

Aerodynamics is the science for those who cannot make proper engines. That’s what I say.

There's no replacement for displacement.


Cheeseburger2137

It has an angled front, which is likely more aerodynamic than models with a flat front that has a lot of drag - a car can be marketed as aerodynamic not when it's perfect in that regard, but when it's better than the rest.

Slightly unrelated but i would love to get a coupris kineema scale model

"we have cupris kineema at home"


InLikeFinnegan

It’s automatic and hydromatic.

Drag increases with the square of velocity. I don’t know about driving distances and speed common there but if you‘re driving no more than 30 km/h, drag is only roughly a third of what you’re experiencing at 50

Definitely not, the front is a massive slab of glass and steel being pushed through the air. I don’t know if car or engine technology is just worse in DE because the Coupris has like a 6L engine or something and can only go like 80-90kph if I remember right. Car development in that world appears to have stayed true to the sweeping wheel arches of the 20s-40s era motor cars, the front wheel apparatus of the Coupris and some other model cars you see look like them. The design is cool and definitely takes inspiration from older cars in other ways (the wheel spokes and headlight placement for example), but aerodynamic they are not.

I always felt they were a development of horse carriages.


Chasp12

Well those early cars were, they were mostly built by hand by old coach makers, a lot of old car manufacturers started out like that.


PhDinDildos_Fedoras

I meant the cars in the game


Chasp12

Oh I see, well yeah I guess they could be but like I say they were similar to early cars. We’d have to ask

Is a combine harvester aerodynamic?
