The front spoiler reduces
aerodynamic lift by 30 percent and the rear one reduces lift by 57 percent, yet the car has the same coefficient of drag as a stock 750i.
The narrow rear windshield ends in a U-shape, where it meets a stubby decklid that, at speeds above 70 mph, rises to serve as a spoiler than reduces
aerodynamic lift by 264 pounds.
Not exact matches
For example, the front fascia provides
aerodynamic benefits
by reducing
lift and drag, while providing sufficient air flow to cool the 6.1 - liter HEMI V - 8 engine.
The
aerodynamic package adds a carbon fibre front splitter and rear lip - spoiler, which together reduce
lift by up to 45 %.
With weight distribution effectively balanced for a mid-engine concept (43 % front, 57 % rear), the center of gravity is just 491 mm from the ground and
aerodynamic downforce is 124 kg at 200 kph, aided
by a competitive
lift - coefficient.
For optimal stability, the system reduces
lift by a factor of three and produces the equivalent of 40 kg of rear downforce at very high track speeds without detracting from the car's carefully honed
aerodynamics designed to achieve a low CdA.
The coupe - inspired
aerodynamic design of the 3 Series Gran Turismo is accentuated
by Air Breathers and an active rear spoiler that reduces
lift on the rear axle
by 35 percent.
As a result, the
aerodynamic drag coefficient is reduced
by more than 15 percent, cooling efficiency is improved and there is no
aerodynamic lift at highway speeds, Porsche said.
The front bumper's carbon - fibre front splitter works to reduce
aerodynamic lift over the front axle, while each of the side intakes also sport small vanes for added downforce, in an idea pioneered
by Ferrari's 458 Italia.

This is just a small example, however, keep in mind that
aerodynamics, Mark is a very nasty science, a bullet propelled through the air does nothing to dispute thermodynamics, and the way in which thrust, drag,
lift and weight effect the moving body, all obeys the laws of physics and is described nicely
by aerodynamics.
