It's pretty good I think, something like .32 or .31 IIRC

its a shed on wheels as far as drag is concerned

Big frontal area can't do it any favours, anybody got a figure?

Dan is right, it is 0.31 as far as I can see.

I agree with yorkie...unless you're doing aircraft-type speeds then the drag coefficient is a sales ploy only, 'cos it's all down to aspect ratio. I could get very technical re aerodynamics here but I'll resist in the interests of peace!!!

No superchargers were harmed in the making of this post...although some egos were slightly bruised.

I'd hardly call 0.31 or 0.32 a shed on wheels.

It has a good shape, why wouldnt it have half decent aerodynamics ??

There arent that many modern cars, that do have terrible drag numbers I'd imagine.
