Golf Ball Cars

By Rico



SkinzWraps, who make the low-wind- resistance vinyl stickers for NASCAR has created something new for your car. It is an adhesive wrapping for your car with the same texture as a golf ball, dimples and all. The wrapping is supposed to make the air "hug" tighter to your car, which in turn reduces pressure drag. It improves the everday car's fuel efficiency by up to 20%. If you don't mind the polka dotted pattern wrapped to your car, the final price is 1,800 USD, but saves about $250 in gas a year. They aren't just stopping at your car, SkinzWraps is working on this same technology for tractor-trailers who guzzle more than 16 percent of transportation gas in the U.S. When testing this on the Big Rigs SkinzWraps will be happy even at 8% fuel efficiency saving 3 billion dollars on diesel a year.
