What is the least aerodynamic car?

You may not think an entry-level luxury sedan could claim the title of the most aerodynamic car. But according to Mercedes, the new A-Class sedan features the lowest drag of any production vehicle in the world, with a coefficient of 0.22. At this level, it defends the world record held by the Mercedes-Benz CLA.

What shape has the highest drag coefficient?

flat plate
A quick comparison shows that a flat plate gives the highest drag, and a streamlined symmetric airfoil gives the lowest drag–by a factor of almost 30! Therefore, we can conclude that: Shape has a very large effect on the amount of drag produced.

What kind of engine does a Toyota Corolla have?

The Corolla 1.4 VVT-i is a front wheel drive saloon (sedan) passenger car with a front placed engine, sold by Toyota. It’s powered courtesy of a naturally aspirated engine of 1.4 litre capacity. This unit features double overhead camshaft valve gear, 4 cylinder layout, and 4 valves per cylinder.

What is the weight of a Toyota Corolla?

Quoted weight at the kerb is 1225 kg. Top stated speed is 170 km/h (106 mph), officially quoted fuel consumption is 8.6/5.7/6.7 l/100km urban/extra-urban/combined, and carbon dioxide emissions are 158.0 g/km. Consider very carefully if you need auto insurance add-ons like hire car costs to be covered by your insurance policy.

What’s the top speed of a Toyota Corolla?

The engine supplies its power through to the wheels via a 5 speed manual transmission. Quoted weight at the kerb is 1225 kg. Top stated speed is 170 km/h (106 mph), officially quoted fuel consumption is 8.6/5.7/6.7 l/100km urban/extra-urban/combined, and carbon dioxide emissions are 158.0 g/km.

How does the size of the car affect the drag coefficient?

While they do not have the biggest impact on the drag coefficient due to their small size, radio antennas commonly found protruding from the front of the vehicle can be relocated and changed in design to rid the car of this added drag.
