Technical HighlightsAerodynamics

For almost 100 years now, it has been accepted that a car’s body should be shaped for minimum wind resistance in order to save fuel. The first experiments in this direction go back to the period following the first world war. Audi conducted experimental work on its Type K in 1923, giving it a streamlined body made of aluminium.
