Despite all that, the Lancer ended up with a drag coefficient (cD) of 0.37 — better than that of the Sundance that was to follow, but not even in the same class as the later Neon.

Aerodynamic Form and Function Although the new PHEV boasts the same bold styling as the redesigned Optima, it offers distinctive design features and exterior elements that differentiate it from the gas - powered models in the Optima range, while also achieving the segment's lowest coefficient of drag, tied with the Tesla Model S at 0.24 Cd.

Aerodynamic Form and Function Although the new Hybrid boasts the same bold styling as the redesigned 2016 Optima, it offers distinctive design features and exterior elements that differentiate it from the gas - powered models in the Optima range, while also achieving a coefficient of drag that is among the lowest in the segment at 0.24 Cd.

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.
