If the shape with the least air-resistance is a raindrop 💧, why are most cars shaped like a backwards raindrop? 🚗

Question

I am basing my question off this [image](https://study.com/cimages/multimages/16/dragcoefficients8851096396303799158.png)

Edit: Okay, okay, I should have said “teardrop” instead of “raindrop.” Talking about the *actual* shape of raindrops doesn’t really help given the visuals I provided.

Answer 1

Because a car, first and foremost, is designed to transport people and cargo. The most efficient shape for that is a box.

A car that is aerodynamically efficient but incapable of carrying people and cargo is a bad car.

Some supercars have that shape, but supercars are toy cars, not good cars.
