MASSIVE aerodynamic development to occur with Audi e-tron S

In an effort to maximize the overall efficiency of its new e-tron S model, Audi pushed hard on the aerodynamic development of the vehicle, to minimize drag both from the body and cooling system. Leveraging extensive CFD and wind tunnel testing, this resulted in an impressive level of detail engineering on the car’s aerodynamics.

Detailing the development, Audi said that controlled airflow at the front wheels is fundamental to the aerodynamics concept. Here, side air inlets in the front – termed air curtains – route the air over a channel in the wheel housing to optimize the airflow to the wheels and the vehicle flank…
