Aeroplanes and cars have a streamlined shape because it reduces the amount of air drag / air resistance, thus allowing less amounts of energy to be wasted. For example, it cars were to be designed like trucks, this would increase friction, slowing the object down. Take the example of sports cars. They are streamlined so that when it flows through the air, the car can travel smoothly, not clumsly-like movements. Trying experimenting this with a parachute and you'll see why.

Why cars are in streamline shape?
Cars are streamlined to allow them to move through the air with less drag. This increases fuel economy and performance. It also makes the car quieter inside.
What is streamline?
Streamline is where you make something a shape so it can travel easily against air resistant. e.g. An aeroplane has wings and the front is shaped so it can glide. A trains front is shapes so it can go faster, old trains had a flat front and that is why they went so slowly. Cars are also streamline especially racing cars. Dolphins are also streamed lined because of there shape and top fin.
