Quote:
After its rebirth it has been namely transported in the Wolfsburg wind tunnel and determined with 0.217 at 2.10 m³ cross-sectional area a drag coefficient that is unmatched by any vehicle currently built in mass production. Only the Mercedes CLA comes very close to it with 0.23 and the VW XL1 produced in small series surpasses it with 0.189 at 1.5 m³ cross-sectional area.

The car therefore represents a particular achievement for the time in which a Volkswagen Beetle had a drag coefficient of 0.46 to 1.8 m³ cross section. By the way the wheel guards contribute very much to the lower air resistance, while a rear spoiler, surprisingly, only very little effect. After all, the car delivers with the low engine power 140 km/h. However, appears somewhat exaggerated the then obviously from the manufacturer specified value of 0.16. 03/13
