Fastback hatches, they're still styled for aero efficiency and quote
an aerodynamic drag figure of just 0.24 Cd.
Not exact matches
The near - two tonne Chiron cuts a less
aerodynamic figure with a coefficient of
drag of 0.35 in Top Speed mode.
It's designed primarily with
aerodynamics in mind, though Honda won't supply a coefficient of
drag figure - based mainly on the fact that different wind tunnels produce different results.
The car's
aerodynamics also made a pivotal contribution to performance: its 1.67 efficiency
figure is a new record for a production Ferrari, and is the fruit of 50 per cent more downforce than the previous model and reduced
drag.
These more compact exterior cameras combine with active
aerodynamics and air suspension that can lower the car into its most
aerodynamic position when cruising, giving the car a claimed
drag coefficient
figure that makes it 0.04 slipperier than the smaller Q2 SUV.
The handsome Q3 also leads its class in
aerodynamics, with a
drag coefficient of just 0.32 Cd — a remarkable
figure for an SUV.
The effect of the larger front end has been compensated for almost entirely, meaning that the cd x A
figure for
aerodynamic drag (
drag coefficient multiplied by
drag area) has only risen very slightly.
The
aerodynamic performance of the McLaren 650S is as efficient as the 12C, boasting the same
drag coefficient
figure, yet the air is being worked harder and more efficiently as it flows over, and through, the functional bodywork.
And the result is impressive to say the least: with a
drag coefficient (cd
figure) of 0.25, the new E-Class is the world's most
aerodynamic standard - production saloon in this market segment, undercutting the already excellent
figure achieved by the outgoing model (0.26) by four percent.
Its styling isn't just for show, either: Audi claims the Q7's
aerodynamic figure translates to a 0.42 coefficient of
drag — best in its class.
