Which car has the most extreme aero from the factory?
Technological advancements have allowed car manufacturers to produce high-downforce cars without the need for big wings. The Aston Martin DB11 is a case in point.
Technological advancements have allowed car manufacturers to produce high-downforce cars without the need for big wings. The Aston Martin DB11 is a case in point. Through extensive testing Aston have developed an ‘AeroBlade’ rear spoiler, which channels air from the C-pillars to reduce lift - thus no need for a heinous wing.
The problem is, we like big wings. Personally I love the Pagani Huayra’s active aero. At a standstill the car looks elegant and refined. But when the driver gets on it, the wings come out to play.
So, we want to know: what car, past or present, has the most extreme aero from the factory?

Volkswagen XL1: 2013-present (Cd 0.19) lowest drag coefficient of any car. That’s some serious use of aerodynamics…
It’s gotta be this.
Ford Escort!
McLaren P1- It’s literally a dish for scooping up air. Just look at it.
