The changes have been made to
reduce aerodynamic forces on the vehicle, thereby improving the vehicle's range.
Not exact matches
The main concerns of automotive
aerodynamics are
reducing drag,
reducing wind noise, and preventing undesired lift
forces at high speeds.
The main purpose of the airdam is to
force air to flow around the car rather than under it in the interests of
reducing aerodynamic drag and lift.
• Body structure weight - optimised and crash - optimised; standard safety features including front and side airbags, side curtain airbags, 3 - point automatic seat belts on all seats, with belt tensioners and belt
force limiters at front, ISOFIX children's seat mounting at rear, Run Flat Indicator and partially active engine compartment lid to optimise pedestrian protection; vehicle weight lower than in predecessor models and competitors in the segment in virtually all variants of the new MINI despite extended range of fittings; increased acoustic and vibrational comfort: optimised
aerodynamic properties as appropriate to each specific model including active cooling air flaps, underbody trim panel and air ducting elements in the upper section of the C columns; best
aerodynamic figures within the competitive environment: Cd value
reduced to 0.28 (MINI Cooper, MINI Cooper D).
