Introduction
Aerodynam ics
The Phaeton has a low drag coefficient of
0.32 CD.
Small features such as the retractable
headlight cleaning nozzles, the
antenna-free body, and the smooth
body transitions are also responsible for
this low drag coefficient.
This level was achieved by combining
several design elements:
• The underbody has an extremely
smooth design.
• The windshield wipers are recessed.
• The body gap dimensions are
very narrow.
• The front has an arrow-shaped design.
• The body is lowered at higher
vehicle speeds.
