Audi reveals its most aerodynamic model yet.
Regarding efficiency and performance, it’s important for any car to be aerodynamic, but for electric vehicles, optimizing aerodynamics is more important than ever, in order to maximize range and battery efficiency. The Audi A6 Sportback e-tron, one of Audi’s latest all-electric models, is proudly Audi’s most aerodynamic model yet, with an incredible drag coefficient of just 0.21. The A6 e-tron builds on decades of Audi designing and engineering vehicles for superior aerodynamics and pulls all the stops to be the historic manufacturer’s most aerodynamic model yet.
In 1967, Audi innovated with the 0.35 drag coefficient of its NSU Ro 80, and again in 1982, the Audi 100 innovated with its 0.30 drag coefficient. The third-generation Audi 80 sported a drag coefficient of 0.29, and now, the 0.21 drag coefficient of the new Audi A6 Sportback e-tron makes it the most aerodynamically efficient Audi ever. The incredible achievement is the result of over 2,800 hours of simulations, and an incredible amount of wind tunnel testing.
Aerodynamics experts at Audi closely collaborated with the manufacturer’s design team to optimize the new Audi A6 Sportback e-tron, painstakingly tweaking every component possible to ensure the best aerodynamic performance possible. This includes the entire range of wheels available for the new A6, ranging from 19 to 21 inches in diameter. With every last detail made to enhance aerodynamics, Audi pushes its lineup and the entire automotive industry forward with the record-breaking aerodynamics of the new A6 Sportback e-tron.
