Coefficient of Drag for Selected Vehicles
I recently located this site again after misplacing the link...
I figured it might help some Ecomodders out.
The Gent that runs it is a Bonneville Speed Racing type..
Enjoy.

If they are 100% right, they'll help a bunch.
OMG the Chevrolet Lumina's drag is .300...impressive.

Yes, I have a '91 Nissan 240SX Fastback in the garage as my "toy" car... I should be using that as a Ecomodder, but it is not stock... 
That has a factory 0.300 as well...

I was thinking about getting a 240SX for my next car. I bet I could bring it down to .28. 
It says a 92 Tempo GLS has a Cd of .36.. Ouch. That's a generation up from mine, though. The front and rear ends were redesigned, and that was about it aerodynamically.

Hey, no Peugeots!!
Good find, Bow
Would we need Mayfield's permission to incorporate their list into EcoModder's Drag List?
And here's is the relevant thread:
CdA list

both lists are missing drag coeffcients for KIAs newer than 2005 (1994 actually) but drag coeffcients for newer/recent kia models would be appreciated

Much of the data is estimated, we've talked about this before, it's older than the hills, take it with a grain of salt.

If you find them for your vehicles (in press releases, Kia Motors Deutschland ? The Power to Surprise? spec sheets, or whereever, please add them to the Wiki. |
