You Can’t Drive A Loaf Of Bread

You can’t drive a loaf of bread, right?

Well, if you could somehow figure out the minor problem of how to get an engine, seat, steering wheel and all the rest inside your Hovis, you might be onto a winner.

Because it turns out that a loaf of bread is more aerodynamic than a Toyota Land Cruiser.

Confession time – it’s more that the Land Cruiser scores pretty much as low as possible on the aerodynamic scale rather than Sourdough being the future of vehicle engineering.

Airflow makes a big difference when driving but it’s something you’re more likely to hear about with Ferrari’s new F1 car for the upcoming season rather than the new van or HGV you’re looking at.

Drag makes a difference, though, which is why a YouTube channel wanted to put it to the test in a ridiculous way, proving that the shape of a Land Cruiser means it’s far from the most efficient vehicle aerodynamically.

Then again, it was designed as an off-road vehicle, not something to be used for city driving every day.

It did make me wonder about the aerodynamics of random objects – would a fridge on four wheels be more efficient than an off-roader?

Now, I haven’t figured out how you’d accelerate a loaf of bread to 60mph, but if anyone does, I’d be interested in having a spin…
