How an exquisite supercar transforms into an LT (longtail) for better grip? Isnt't it the best you have seen so far? Read full article - in your language - at: https://lnkd.in/d77wDYGC McLaren has been synonymous with aerodynamic innovation and excellence since its very beginnings, with Bruce McLaren himself always determined to push for any advantage offered by new ways of managing airflow to balance lift and drag in the most efficient way possible. The 1967 championship-winning McLaren M6A Can-Am racecar employed ground effect aerodynamics with great success and while it was another decade before the technology came to Formula 1 – and the 1990s before the McLaren F1 showed how effective it could be in a road car – ground effect remains a significant advantage as part of an overall aerodynamic package for those car makers who can master it. #mclaren #w1 #granturismo #cuoresportivo

Have you seen McLaren's latest marvel, the McLaren W1? It’s setting new standards in the hypercar world with its innovative hybrid V8 platform and mind-bending aerodynamics. From my years in the automotive industry, when you hear McLaren, you know it's all about pushing boundaries. The McLaren W1 is no different. The reality of witnessing a car that can smoothly transition from Road to Race mode with such precision is astounding. Remember once being at a car show where the transition from a concept to reality left everyone around me speechless; that's the vibe the W1 brings, but on the streets and track. Now, picture this: With the flip of a switch, the W1 morphs—its active wings extend, and it hunkers down closer to the tarmac, aided by a 37mm drop in the front suspension and 17mm in the back, generating a whopping 1,000kg of downforce! 🚗💨 For anyone fascinated by the intersection of cutting-edge technology and breathtaking performance, isn’t this precisely what dreams are made of? 🤔 What do you think sets McLaren apart in the world of supercars? How important are aerodynamics in your dream car’s performance? #McLarenW1 #HybridSupercars #AutomotiveInnovation #Aerodynamics #SupercarEngineering

Ever wondered how the sleek design of an F1 car's front wing can make or break a race? 🏎️💨 In the world of Formula 1, the front wing is more than just a component – it's a masterpiece of aerodynamic engineering that plays a crucial role in a car's performance. The front wing is the first point of contact with the air and directly influences the car's overall aerodynamic efficiency. Its design impacts downforce, drag, and ultimately, lap times. Modern F1 front wings are complex structures made up of multiple elements, each carefully shaped to manage airflow. These elements work together to generate downforce, pressing the car onto the track for better grip and stability, while minimizing drag to enhance speed. Adjusting the angle and shape of these elements can dramatically change the car’s behavior on different tracks. New design with drag 326.98 N and downforce 1678.29 N at a speed of 100 MPH as well as drag 1193 N and downforce 6810.11 N at a speed of 200 MPH. Understanding the aerodynamics of an F1 front wing isn't just for racing enthusiasts. It will be the prime example of how precision engineering and innovative design can lead to breakthrough performance – principles that apply across industries. Design will not be available here only posting the result of hard work.  Thankyou for understanding #F1 #MercedesAmgPetronasf1 #Mclarenracing #AstonMartinF1 #RedBullTechnology

This is not the Scuderia Ferrari #SF24EVO but my interpretation of its evolution... I had thought about this evolution well before the presentation of the Red Bull Racing & Red Bull Technology #RB20 car from which it takes the #sharkinlet concept. The S-duct remains, but the front cooling duct is completely removed and brought exclusively to the upper part of the sidepod thanks to the #Coandăeffect produced by the leading edge of the pylon cover, mirrors and the other #microaerodynamic elements also present on the halo... it could be considered to create this air inlet on the back of the sidepods with a low-drag air inlet design, like #NACAduct This would allow the air flow to be extremely cleaned to close the ends of the bottom. The only aspect to check is what effect this repositioning of air capture has for #heatexchanger and some variation may cause the different positioning of the heat exchangers for balancing the loads of the aerodynamic map.

The FIA have released renderings of what Formula 1 cars may look like after the 2026 regulation change. • 30kg (66 lb) lighter • 200mm (7.87 in) shorter • 100mm (3.93 in) narrower Also: • Active aerodynamics • No DRS... • ...but new 'Override' mode (similar to Formula E) • No wheel arches • Less powerful floors • Improved safety standards Thoughts?
