    Kostenlose Registrierung Bild von: Mazda Der ND MX-5 kam wie ein Blitz aus heiterem Himmel. In einer Zeit, in der die Autos immer komplexer und größer wurden, schlug Mazdas Roadster der vierten Generation einen anderen Weg ein. Es war ein Auto, das viel kleiner und leichter war als sein Vorgänger, kaum größer und schwerer als der ursprüngliche Miata von 1989.

    Perhaps for the first time in history, someone has accurately described a three-row crossover as being “Scandi flickable.” For those who don’t speak Rally English, the Scandinavian flick is an old rally technique where, to get a car sliding in a corner, you huck it in the opposite direction first, creating a pendulum effect. One imagines that not many owners will try a Scandinavian flick in a Lucid Gravity, an electric, three-row luxury SUV. Their loss.

    Photo: McMurtry Si une voiture est capable de générer plus d'appui aérodynamique que son poids, elle est capable de rouler à l'envers. Mais personne n'a jamais tenté de le faire, car avec les dispositifs aérodynamiques conventionnels (ailes, diffuseurs, etc.), ce type d'appui aérodynamique n'est obtenu qu'à des vitesses extrêmement élevées. L'appui aérodynamique augmente avec le niveau de vitesse.

    Teorik olarak, eğer bir araç kendi ağırlığından daha fazla yere bastırma kuvveti üretebilirse yer çekimine karşı koyarak tavanda yol almayı başarabilir. Ancak bu şimdiye kadar kimse tarafından denenmedi. Geleneksel aerodinamik eklentiler (kanatlar ve difüzörler) yeterli kuvveti üretebilmek için yüksek hızlara ihtiyaç duyar. Bir otomobilin yeterli hıza kadar ulaştıktan sonra tavanda yol almayı deneyeceği bir tünel inşa etmek ise gereksiz bir masraf olur.

    If a car is capable of generating more downforce than its weight, it's capable of driving upside down. But no one has actually attempted this, because with conventional aerodynamic devices—wings, diffusers, etc.—those sorts of downforce levels are only achieved at extremely high speeds. Downforce rises with the square of speed. So building some kind of tunnel to get a car up to necessary speed–and drive upside down—has just been a pipe dream.
