That's interesting, of course. The article speculates on the same theme. But .28 is still lower than the C&D tunnel offers (.30). So, I'm still wondering if the testing method makes its own noise. Did Mercedes test without the wheels spinning? That kinda thing.
Mercedes-Benz uses the FKFS wind tunnel that Kamm built in the late 1930s.It does not have a moving floor,or provision to roll the wheels unless it's been recently modified.
