This is the follow up to my Drag Coefficient thread, this shows what a number of various vehicles develop at 200 km/h in the Daimler-Chrysler Wind tunnel.The list isn't a long as you might expect, but it was only until recently Sport Auto started measuring both the front and rear aerodynamics (before, only rear)

Essentially there are four categories, and they follow as: Vehicles with all-around downforce, vehicles with neutral downforce, vehicles with mixed (half lift/half downforce) and lastly vehicles where there is lift all-around. Vehicles will be listed alphabetically.

*Please note there are vehicles missing (987 Boxster S and etc)

Front end = Rear end

Green Lettering will indicate downforce

Red lettering will indicate lift

Grey lettering will indicate netural
