    Confused
In summary, while researching aerodynamics, it was discovered that a teardrop shape has a very low coefficient of drag. However, cars designed with this shape were not aesthetically pleasing and did not sell well. Engineers have now created a more advanced version, the "Persu V3 Hybrid," which has a design opposite of a teardrop. It is unclear if this design change was made to make the car look more advanced and increase sales, or if it is actually more aerodynamic. The conversation also mentions that a dolphin has a low drag coefficient, but cars do not have a similar design.

So I started researching about aerodynamics and found that the most natural aerodynamic thing is a teardrop, it has a very low coefficient of drag so cars had been made to also have aerodynamics like a teardrop but looked horrible so no one bought them but engineers now decided to make a more advanced version, the "Persu V3 Hybrid" but what has confused me is that the design is opposite to a teardrop, in fact the teardrop is the wrong way round! I think a image will make it more clearer:

Do you think they changed the design because it looks more advanced and people may buy it or do you think that this is more aerodynamic than the original design which was a teardrop shape?

If it doesn't look cool it won't sell. A dolphin has an extremely low drag coefficient but I yet to see a car that looks like one.
 

1. What is Persu Hybrid?

Persu Hybrid is a type of plant hybrid that has been genetically modified to possess both persuasive and hybrid traits. It was created in a laboratory setting by scientists.

2. How does Persu Hybrid work?

Persu Hybrid works by producing a unique combination of persuasive chemicals and hybrid characteristics that make it highly attractive and desirable to consumers. These chemicals and characteristics are carefully selected and incorporated into the plant's genetic makeup.

3. Is Persu Hybrid safe to consume?

There is currently no research or evidence to suggest that Persu Hybrid is unsafe for consumption. However, as with any genetically modified organism, it is important to continue monitoring and conducting studies to ensure its safety.

4. What are the potential benefits of Persu Hybrid?

The potential benefits of Persu Hybrid include increased crop yield, improved resistance to pests and diseases, and enhanced nutritional value. It may also have the potential to positively influence consumer behavior and purchasing decisions.

5. Are there any ethical concerns surrounding Persu Hybrid?

As with any form of genetic modification, there are ethical concerns surrounding Persu Hybrid. Some may argue that manipulating the genetic makeup of plants for human benefit goes against the natural order of things. It is important for scientists to consider and address these concerns in their research and development of Persu Hybrid.
