Sleek design for greater efficiency
Aerodynamic performance is critical for reducing fuel consumption and raising efficiency. Audi prototypes spend over 1,000 hours in a wind tunnel with improvements being made so drag can be reduced. Less air resistance also means improved handling, lower CO2 emissions and even improved safety. Improvements such as door mirrors which are aerodynamically shaped so rain is directed away from the side windows for better all-round visibility is another notable product of this extensive development process.
After rigorously testing and fine tuning the Audi A6 allroad, it achieved a remarkably low drag co-efficient of just 0.33.*
*Achieved with the suspension in dynamic mode
Reducing drag even more
Dynamic mode on the air suspension lowers the car at higher speeds thus reducing drag and improving efficiency.
