As such, much can be gained by tweaking the aerodynamics of these sport cars. The unit of measurement for aerodynamics is called the "coefficient of drag" or Cd. The Cd value tells us how efficiently the sport cars slips through the wind. Another common measurement multiplies the Cd times the total frontal area of the sport cars. I think this is called CdA. Lower Cd means better Mileage! With Warm Regards David James Some Manufacturers design most sport cars for great looks, with aerodynamics as an afterthought.
