You’d also think that million-dollar super- and hypercars would be far better at cutting through the air at speed compared to lesser cars, but you’d actually be wrong. Yes, they are super low to the ground and have bullet-like bodies, but most have high-powered engines, as well as big brakes and other sources of heat that need air and cooling; plus they also have spoilers and winglets to improve downforce and this too has a negative effect on Cd. This is why, for instance, a Koenigsegg Agera R can’t do any better than 0.37 Cd, or Porsche 918 with 0.34 Cd or Ferrari LaFerrari with 0.30 Cd.

For the purpose of this article, we’ll therefore only concentrate on the slipperiest of cars, those with Cd under 0.28, and you’ll be astounded to find that the best ones are regular family sedans or estates... Except for the VW XL1, but it’s a special car that warrants being put into context on its own as it’s the only (limited) production car known with under 0.20 Cd.
