By essentially eliminating hood deformation, testing has shown that the new hood design greatly
improves aerodynamic performance at the front of the vehicle at high speed (200 km / h or more).
Not exact matches
Not only does this further reduce lift
at the front axle, it also provides downforce
at the rear axle for
improved aerodynamics and even better
performance — combined with a surprisingly high level of comfort.
The result is reduced lift
at the front axle and increased downforce
at the rear axle for
improved aerodynamics and another boost in
performance.
Among the features are aero stabilizing fins installed on the side face of the rear combination lamp and
at the base of the outer mirror; underbody covers to
improve airflow; and lightweight aluminum wheels and wheel covers designed with
aerodynamic performance in mind.
The goal was to maximize cooling airflow, while
at the same time keeping
aerodynamic drag in check (for example, not increasing drag in one area of the vehicle as a result of
improving cooling
performance / airflow in another).
The control system in the Mark VIII lowered the suspension by about 25 mm (1 inch)
at speeds exceeding about 100 km / h (60 mph) for
improved aerodynamic performance.
In practice, the system has always incorporated the desirable self - levelling suspension and height adjustable suspension features, with the latter now tied to vehicle speed for
improved aerodynamic performance, as the vehicle lowers itself
at high speed.

The B7 sedan is finished with ALPINA
aerodynamic developments, including front and rear spoilers which not only enhance the appearance but also
improve stability and
performance at high speeds.
Although there is little difference between the coupe and sedan mechanically the coupe will likely come
at a premium and offer slightly
improved performance due to better
aerodynamics.
The hood of Ford's latest pony car sits lower
at the front, contributing to a lower coefficient of drag, and Ford engineers contributed hundreds of hours over the past several years to help
improve the car's
aerodynamic performance in other ways.
