The paper presents the numerical analysis of the drag force generated on the body of a sports car, based on the CFD method in the Ansys Fluent program. The three-dimensional model of the vehicle was taken from an open CAD database. Based on this, a computational grid was developed, boundary conditions and a turbulence model were defined. As a result of the calculations, the pressure distribution on the individual body parts and the velocity distribution in selected cross sections were obtained. In the next part of the research, the simulation results are used to optimize the shape of the bodywork of different passenger vehicles in order to reduce the generated drag force.
