Aerodynamics In Cars

Aerodynamics In Cars unveils how car design strategically harnesses airflow to minimize drag and maximize downforce, boosting speed and efficiency. It explores the crucial link between a car's shape and performance, explaining how aerodynamic principles are applied in automotive engineering. For example, the book details how seemingly minor design choices, like the curvature of a hood or the shape of a rear spoiler, profoundly affect drag, which directly impacts fuel consumption. Another key area is downforce generation, crucial for enhancing grip and stability, particularly at high speeds. The book systematically progresses from fundamental aerodynamic principles to specific components like front splitters and diffusers, analyzing their design considerations and impact on overall vehicle performance. Case studies illustrating real-world applications are included. Grounded in established principles and supported by wind tunnel testing and CFD simulations, the book uniquely focuses on practical design considerations and trade-offs, bridging the gap between theory and real-world application.
Speed Read Supercar

From Motorbooks' beautifully designed and illustrated Speed Read series, Speed Read Supercar guides you through every aspect of these imagination-capturing, eye-widening, land-bound speed missiles. When Lamborghini unleashed its Miura on an unsuspecting world in 1966, it set off a high-performance arms race that continues to this day. Ferrari, Maserati, Jaguar, Porsche, and Lotus all accepted the challenge. Over the following five decades, numerous others stepped up, including stalwarts like Aston Martin, BMW, and Audi, as well as small-volume specialists such as Koenigsegg, Pagani, Noble, and Spyker. The result is a veritable smorgasbord of blazingly fast and delicious-looking land missiles available to anyone with several hundred thousand dollars to spare. Supercars are complex subjects that interest nearly everyone. Every part of a supercar represents myriad decisions informed by engineering, aesthetics, human interface, and emotion. Speed Read Supercar answers the hows and whys of these fantastic cars in sections divided by topic, offering an engaging review of history, engineering, design, key concepts, and key people. Each section ends with a glossary of related terms, and informational sidebars provide fun facts, historical tidbits, and mini-bios of key people in the supercar world. Sleek illustrations showcase the incredible designs. With Motorbooks’ Speed Read series, become an instant expert in a range of fast-moving subjects, from Formula 1 racing to the Tour de France. Accessible language, compartmentalized sections, fact-filled sidebars, glossaries of key terms, and event timelines deliver quick access to insider knowledge. Their brightly colored covers, modern design, pop art–inspired illustrations, and handy size make them perfect on-the-go reads.
