I was reading this article about Mercedes' new fish-inspired car:

and got curious about how aerodynamic Lamborghini models are. Does anyone know where there are published coefficient of drag figures for the various models?

2005 Lamborghini Murcielago Coefficient of drag: 0.33
2000 Lamborghini Diablo Coefficient of drag: 0.32

That's all I could find.

Wow, that Benz must be thinner than I thought to have a figure that low, compared to a Lamborghini.

Cd of 0.19!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:eek: :eek: :eek:

I thought my LS430 was amazing at a Cd of 0.25. And you really can notice it on the road. When that car gets up to speed, it takes forever to slow down on its own. As I learned with the Sheriff's Dept.
