Lightyear One is the world's most streamlined car
When choosing a car, consumers often think only about power characteristics and rated fuel consumption, and a little less often take into account the weight of the car. However, aerodynamics have almost the key influence on acceleration and fuel efficiency - how easily air flows “flow around” the car, how much it overcomes air resistance.
The developer of Lightyear One paid great attention to aerodynamics, since the main problem with cars using alternative energy sources is their limited power reserve. Tests in Turin showed that the aerodynamic drag coefficient of the future solar car is only 0.20. For comparison, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan has 0.02 points more, and this is the most aerodynamic car on the market in 2018.
