Aerodynamics in Ferrari cars

To best understand how speed and aerodynamics work together, it’s important to know what aerodynamics is. When it comes to automotive engineering, aerodynamics takes your vehicle’s performance to new heights by reducing drag, minimizing wind noise, and increasing stability. And it is through these benefits that you can gain higher speeds and better efficiency.

In most cases, auto aerodynamics manifest in the form of calculated body lines, spoilers, lightweight vehicle material, and low-standing stature. And these are all attributes you can find throughout our lineup of Ferrari models! It will differ from vehicle to vehicle, so be sure to contact our team if you want to learn more specifics about your chosen model.

How Downforce Affects Performance

What is downforce? Downforce is a downward lift force on a vehicle brought around by its aerodynamic features. This increases the vertical force on the tires, increases grip, and ultimately allows the vehicle to go faster. While it may not seem like a big deal, downforce is important because it increases the stability of your vehicle allowing you more control as you drive at high speeds in Milwaukee.
