drag coefficients

Jul 11, 2003 1 Replies

Did anyone see a table of drag coefficients & frontal areas for various cars and suvs anywhere? I was shocked to see it's .39 for Cayenne and am very curious since then.



Regarding performance, a low drag coefficient and small frontal area are more important for a light-weight car with a small engine than for a heavy car with a very powerful engine.

While the same is not true concerning mileage, the majority of owners of heavy cars with powerful engines don't seem to care much about fuel consumption and/or emissions.
