Test Drive
Put a car through the physics: acceleration and top speed integrated from its own published specifications, the drag it has to push through, and what it costs to hold a speed. Then open the wind tunnel and watch the air go over it: a real lattice-Boltzmann solve on your GPU, not an animation.
Every figure is modelled, and shown beside the manufacturer's own where one exists. How it is computed, and where it is weakest, is on themethodology page.
Cars the model can run
A car needs power, mass, a drag coefficient and a frontal area before any of this means anything.
