There is screened
air inlet opening in the opposite corner of the toilet compartment near the top.
Thanks to extensive aerodynamic improvements (such as
air inlet openings in front, modified door mirror caps, new wheel spoiler), tyres optimised for low rolling resistance and standard 8 - speed automatic gearbox optimised for low friction, Volkswagen was able to improve the fuel efficiency of the Touareg by up to six per cent (V6 TDI with 150 kW).
Additionally when the hydraulic wheel brakes are subject to high loads, the controllable cool -
air inlet opens and releases two ducts which channel the cooling air into the front wheel arches to the brakes.
Not exact matches
Taking heat management a step further are active cooling flaps located behind the middle
air inlet, which
open when the engine runs too hot and close when not needed, reducing drag.
The front features a dual grille
opening that channels
air directly into the two engine radiators positioned in the nose of the car, and in the centre of the front
inlets are two uprights that, along with a deflector, channel
air towards the car's flat underfloor.
Additionally, McLaren gave the new concept an ultra-advanced active aerodynamic package called Integrated Active Aero, which works by «
opening tiny aperture covers around
air inlets on key surfaces during cornering to create drag and generate downforce, rather than moving the surfaces altogether.»
The answer was to increase frontal
air - intake area without a gigantic grille by putting the lamps in
open scoops and to route most of the cooling
air internally, allowing smooth flanks marked with strong character lines and only very small
inlets low on the body behind the door to cool the turbochargers» radiators.
The turbo radiator -
inlet efficiency is enhanced by the hard edge above the
opening, indenting the body side to provide more frontal area for ram
air along the lower body.
Note that lines and strakes on the hood angle outward, the center grille
opening is smaller, and new «airblades» at the outer
air inlets help channel cooling
air to the intercoolers.
This is because it will have a race camshaft which
opens the
inlet valves very early, it may hold the
inlet and exhuast valves
open at the same time to improve chamber filling using the negative pressure in the exhaust (i.e. scavange it's
inlet plenum) and it will keep the valves
open for as long as possible to let the maximum about of
air / fuel mixture into the cylinders.

The aggressive bumper tapers into a splitter edge and the low centre
air inlet is divided into three small
openings.
These include a «by - pass» engine
air intake port that
opens up at 5500 rpm, a revised induction system and re-profiled
air inlet ports that further improve airflow into the combustion chamber to improve performance.
The B9's drag coefficient value of 0.23 is class leading, and is derived from a range of subtle measures, including the outer lines of the
air inlets that integrate additional
openings (they guide some of the airstream over the wheel well), wing mirrors positioned on the door sills (narrow stripes enhance aeroacoustics, amber light below it is a unique blind spot assist method), narrow trim on the rear windows and a largely smooth underbody.
There are also adjustable
air inlets below the headlamps that close when the vehicle is in motion for a smoother aerodynamic face and
open when the vehicle 918 needs additional cooling.

In the Atkinson cycle, the
inlet valves are held
open longer than normal to allow a reverse flow of intake
air into the intake manifold, thereby decreasing pumping loss and increasing thermal efficiency.
These include a «by - pass» engine
air intake port that
opens above 5500rpm to allow more
air into the engine, and re-profiled
air inlet ports that further improve airflow into the combustion chamber.
The grille is flanked by large
air inlets and small
openings that help funnel
air through the front wheel arches making the car more aerodynamic and quieter inside thanks to a reduction in wind noise.
On the outside, the grille now has a curvature to it, and the
air inlet on each corner of the fascia has been
opened up a little more.
The 5.0 - liter V8 engine (also found in the GT trim) has been upped with features from the Shelby Mustang GT350, like the
Open Air Induction System, powertrain control module, and
inlet manifold.
«The intensity of the vortex would be controlled by closing the
inlets around the base, or by
opening another set of
inlets to inject
air in the opposite direction and so slow the vortex's rotation.
