Video Summary
Here is a summary of the YouTube video review:- Audi has been shaping cars according to wind dynamics for decades.
- Auto Union was obsessed with “streamlined race cars.”
- Wind has been shaping cars for much longer than people realize.
- The 1937 Auto Union type C Stromlinie was a pre-war Formula 1 car with a super low drag body.
- The driver sits at the nose, mid-engined. It had a V16 engine with 560 horsepower.
- The A6 Avant E-tron has a drag coefficient of .24.
- The saloon/sport back versions of A6 are record breakingly aero-efficient, with a drag factor of 0.21.
- Air suspension, active ride. It squats down at speed to create a smaller hole in the air.
- There are new tail lights for anti-tailgating, which brighten to show the driver to back off.
- Virtual door mirrors fold away. These alone can extend range 7 kilometers per charge.
- Interiors feature denim fabric, however some parts use dated piano black materials.
- There are five screens in the car's interior. All of the displays have good clarity.
- The virtual mirrors have now been mounted to be in better alignment to the eye.
- There is the new electric estate, with a very aerodynamic shape.
- The floor is sealed up, with no gearbox to cool.
- All of the underbody has ramps that steer air around turbulent wheels.
- The new A6 Avant has >720 km / 447 miles in range, while the Sportback has >750 km / 466 miles in range.
- This has given Audi time to not "overdo" the aero design.
