Aerodynamics was at the heart of the road map for this ‘0’ and the result is still unparalleled: Cx is only 0.175 !
For comparison, Volkswagen’s XL1 prototype car, released in 2011 with 250 units, achieved Cx 0.189. Mercedes EQS or Tesla Model S appear 0.202 and 0.208. Thanks to this extensive design work, the car’s fuel consumption is also very well controlled. A constructor only declares a value 10.5 kW/100 km at an acceleration of 110 km/h.
