Aston Martin/Red Bull Supercar revealed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTs8mvvccgg&feature=share
looks like a mclaren
>>15387432
Who cares? The Red Bull team stopped being good years ago. Should've built the car before F1 became a Mercedes/Hamilton show.
I dont know how i feel
The aero on this looks insane
>>15387432
>it's going to be faster than an F1 car on track thanks to it's underbody wings that provide massive amounts of downforce
In race-trim, faster than LMP1, maybe.
Faster than Formula 1? I don't think so. The numbers just don't add up and at the end - the mechanical grip from the tires wouldn't be enough because they are much, much narrower than the Pirelli tires they use in Formula 1. The car is still a 100kg heavier and still has to meet road legality standards.
There is just no way, man. Much respect for Adrian but, saying *this* is faster than an F1 car.. I'm a little skeptical.

>Narrower tires
>Less grip
>Not realising size of contact patch has no effect on frictional force
I'm not sure this implies you're best placed to make judgements about the engineering decisions taken in designing this, senpai...
>>15387572
>frictional force
Son, if you have a wider tire, it has better heat management. And since tires don't follow basic friction theory on the dot since they are made from deformable rubber. Tires only give proper grip when they're at a proper temperature - too cold, no grip. Too hot, they disintegrate.
So F=mu*r doesn't necessarily apply.
In addition, a wider tire offers better linear acceleration.
What I'm trying to argue that since it is only using road tires, how in the fuck can the tires manage the heat that is generated from having a road legal car go as fast as a Formula 1 car.

Senpai, they do follow basic frictional theory - rubber isn't magical... but yes, energy dissipation over a wider area in the case of slipping tires is a pretty important factor. So the solution must be not to slip the tires, desu
>>15387572
>>15387920
tyres deform so you can't apply the standard theory
>>15387933
You can. All surfaces deform. Tyres aren't just some magical thing that's different to everything else.
>>15387971
you probably consider water a compressible fluid
>>15387524
>Faster than Formula 1?
Hell yes. Formula 1 is completely limited (as are other racing formulas) in their aerodynamics - no moveable aero parts are allowed. Aston doesn't have to stick to this.
>much narrower tires
Veyron has 365 section rears. Formula 1 currently uses 375. There's no reason to think this Aston couldn't have a similar tire width.
car for double leg amputees.
nice huyara
>>15388181
how does it feel driving like this??
>>15388246
Terrible on the street, you can't see less than 20 feet in front of you and it feels like you're going to be turned into a pretzel if you get into a fender bender
>>15388256
you should already feel like a pretzel after the new commiefornia laws.
>>15388246
Like chewing 5 gum
>>15387432
They are promising a lot here. It would be amazing if they achieve it.
>>15387992
I bet you think apparent contact patch is the same thing as actual contact patch.
>>15387994
Other sources saying it will be aim to be as fast as an LMP1 car.
>>15388436
he's literally saying the exact opposite you mong
>>15388479
okay explain how tires being compressible changes a god damn thing
>>15387992
water is commpressible tho
Fun fact: This car came about after Adrian Newey's initial spitballing over pick related
Has Aston Martin ever made a supercar?
Even the One-77 is just a grand tourer
>>15389119
The Vulcan?
>>15389165
That's a track only race car.
Unlike pic related
>>15389119
dam the bitch on the right

what japanese anime is he cosplaying the villain of
>>15389212
He probably just walked into a store in Roppongi and asked for the most expensive thing they had.
>>15389037
For 99% of academic purposes (like shitposting on /o/, for example) it isn't.
>>15389243
>it's 99% not compressible
which means is 1% compressible
>>15389252
haha good one :^)
>>15387442
you mean a huayra i'm sure.
>>15387807
So you have to stress your tyres more to get up to the optimum temperature.
Also a wider tyre means a heavier tyre, therefore you have to work it harder to get up to speed, resulting in less acceleration.
