2018 GMC TERRAIN AERODYNAMIC MILESTONES

Here’s a trick question: what does a football and an SUV have in common. They both rely on exceptional aerodynamics to perform at optimal levels. When you see the 2018 GMC Terrain at our Pekin dealership, know that our GMC engineers have clocked more than 300 hours to refine every surface of this SUV. From the front grille to the rear spoiler, every detail was optimized for absolute precision.

“Reducing the aerodynamic drag of an SUV is always a challenge,” said GMC Aerodynamic Engineer Alicia Bidwell. “Our engineering team paid attention to even the smallest details to deliver the size and cargo space our customers want.”

With the Terrain, a lifted stance introduced more air flow underneath the vehicle and created pressure for chassis components. This leads to aerodynamic drag. In order to reduce drag and increase aero performance, Terrain aerodynamicists tested and simulated craft features to effectively guide the back of the vehicle. Moreover, it’s noticeable the attention to detail and craftsmanship delivered to this GMC vehicle. You will also notice an impressive athletic handling, performance, and styling.

Airflow is Essential to a Wonderful Performance in Pekin From GMC Terrain

Imagine this scenario we have all seen plenty of times in our life. One minute left to go in the fourth quarter, one team is ahead by four points, and the offense needs to drive down 70 yards to score a touchdown. In this situation, football aerodynamics is just as crucial as the offensive lineman protecting the quarterback to hurl the ball perfectly to one of its wide receivers.

Just like these important moments in football, the Terrain compares with effortless acceleration from aerodynamics and engine power. You’ll discover a perfect drive everytime you enter the 2018 GMC Terrain. Our GMC dealership takes it a step further by offering Pekin shoppers GMC Terrain specials.

“Many look at our NFL football and see it as a simple object,” said Daniel Hare, aerodynamics research engineer, Advanced Innovation, Wilson Sporting Goods. “However, the amount of engineering, particularly in the area of aerodynamics, that has gone into the ball is pretty extraordinary. Every millimeter of the football has been designed to maximize the airflow around it so we can extend its flight, reduce drag and help maintain stability as much as possible.”
