The Audi A6 E-Tron Sportback has appeared as one of the best domain deals to the market in the market now. For only $ 67,195, you can get a sedan with a rear wheel, 375 hp up to 392 miles. The only sedan cars are the best Tesla Model S. and Air clearAnd both are more expensive.
The impression of such an impressive form is not a simple matter. Among the weight, the circulating resistance, and the dynamic clouds, is the air that requires most of the load of the transmission group in the car quickly. The lower the car pulling, the less energy you need to burn to go on the road. The result of the best Aero for EV is, of course, a larger range.

Designers enable the A6 E-Tron-a number that represents the amount of the air-to-air object to 0.21 compressed tablets only. This makes it the most effective production car of any brand of Volkswagen group, at all. For some context, and Bugati VeronAnother VW Group Product with the Copendent Production Car on this Planet, which has a 0.36 compressed disk.
It is clear that the A6 E-Tron is not Supercar. At first glance, it looks like any other modern sedan, with a flat nose and a long front space. So how did Audi manage to generate Aero Hypercar-Beating numbers from this relatively infantry? Many smart engineering know -how.
Dr. Moni Al -Islam, head of development of air dynamics, says in a video call to reporters in Santa Barbara from Audi, Ingolstad, Germany,
Islam says that the front of the A6 was the most important place to find efficiency – it makes sense, given that where the air first meets the car. But not only the nose where improvements can be made. It is on the front edge on both sides of the bumper, where the air is directed over the wheels.
“We have worked with a lot of detailed improvement on the (The Air Curtains) to obtain the correct flow on the side of the car … A lot of improvement has been made on the edges and tires.”
Audi improving each group of wheel and tires for the utmost dynamic efficiency, as Islam says. Wherever the air meets the car, the Audi engineers represent this flow.

“Aside from doing every model with our designers, we had to look at a lot of details.”
Even in the case of EV, the A6 E-Tron cannot be everything that passes over or around it. You should take some air face to the cooling equipment needed to keep the engine temperatures and the battery under examination. This has also been improved.
“We have a very compressed heat management system, which is necessary for the car,” Islam says. “But we were able to get a fully external flow and flow. We have collected this with active entrance shutters, which direct the mass flow rate for the next air the way the thermal management system needs.”
“So when the car drives the highway, it is usually closed shutters, and this creates a truly low clouds.”
If the nose is the most important part of the Aero for the car, then the lower person is the second most important. There is a reason that analysts always talk about the design of the floors in Formula 1 – it’s the main source of the lower power of cars. Here, it is equally necessary.
Islam says: “Of course, we have made a great deal of improvement in the lower person.” “Since the lower person is very flat and closed, we have been able to do a lot and a lot of improvement there. It is something you cannot see in daily use, but it was indeed an essential part of the improvement we have done.”

The ability to control the high A6 ride is not believed in more possibilities. The optional aerobic suspension of engineers, at high speeds, allows reducing the high car ride – the lower ride height gives us the lower cloud factor, “says Islam.
Finding all these competencies was not possible without modern simulation technology.
And Islam said, “We were not working here at the wind tunnel,” Islam said. “We have made about 3,500 simulations when we were developing the A6 and all its variables. On the top of about 1000 hours we spent here at the wind tunnel.”
Unfortunately, buyers in America will get a vulnerable version of the A6 E-Tron, simply due to the old regulations. The CD of the car, which is 0.21, cannot be achieved only when equipped with the optional “apparent mirrors” of Audi, which replaces the side vision mirrors with thinner and more efficient cameras, associated with the display screens included in any of the front door. Without the cameras, the A6 E-Tron only reaches a 0.23 compressed disk. Islam says that the mirrors are of about 4 miles of the range.
Mirrors or not, A6 E-Tron numbers are impressive, and evidence of what can be achieved when unifying the design and engineering to extract more than one vehicle. It is also evidence that regardless of the difficulty of internal combustion in wrapping, in the end, electric cars will take at least in the Normie Commute car sector.
With the collapse of EV incentives in the United States, it may take a little longer until the electrical revolution really leaks. But with the appearance of more vehicles like A6, which offers a great range for reasonable money, buyers will be more keen on switching.
