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.

mostly cause people don’t like the way they look.
but GM made a car called the [EV1](https://www.hagerty.com/media/automotive-history/gm-ev1-true-inside-story/) that looked like a teardrop in the 90s and i think it has the lowest drag of any production car in history.
nowadays car manufacturers are using tons of aero data to make cars super slippery AND still look relatively normal…without the ugly long tail.
oh yeah there’s another cool teardrop shaped car called the mclaren [speedtail](https://www.caranddriver.com/mclaren/speedtail) that’s designed to have low drag so it can go super fast.
you’ll also see some weirdos put big tails on their [regular](https://www.aerocivic.com/) cars to make them more efficient. they work, but i mean, do you really wanna drive around in something like that?
