Mercedes-Benz Aerodynamics: Emotion meets efficiency
https://mercedes-benz-blog.blogspot....s-emotion.html

When it comes to wind resistance, noise levels, open-top driving comfort and anti-soiling measures, i.e. in all aerodynamic disciplines, models from Mercedes-Benz have taken the leading position in almost all vehicle classes for many years. This demonstrates that an exciting, emotional design and high aerodynamic efficiency are not contradictory. With the new aeroacoustics wind tunnel at the development centre in Sindelfingen, the company has now also taken the lead in aerodynamic testing.....................

With the "large wind tunnel" in Stuttgart-Untertürkheim, Mercedes-Benz was the first automobile manufacturer to possess a wind tunnel – the first documented measurement was carried out there exactly 70 years ago, on 5 February 1943....................
