To achieve this figure, the A-Class sedan was optimised to the smallest details by multiple computation loops, computer-aided engineering and measurements in the brand\u2019s own wind tunnel in Sindelfingen. In a side note, the blower in the wind tunnel can generate wind speeds as high as 265 km\/h and is so precise that it is possible to show the influence of tyre markings in aerodynamics.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carsomesg.s3.amazonaws.com\/2019 Mercedes A- sedan aero\/a-class-sdn-aero-info.jpg\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/carsomesg.s3.amazonaws.com\/2019%20Mercedes%20A-%20sedan%20aero\/a-class-sdn-aero-info.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The small improvements that led to the new record included a reduction of the frontal area, extensive sealing such as the headlamp surroundings, almost complete underbody panelling of engine bay, main floorpan and parts of the rear axle and diffuser.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The car\u2019s rims and tyres also went through aerodynamic fine-tuning, with front and wheel spoilers optimised to route the air around the wheels in its most efficient.
