2013 Mazda Mazda3 Reviews - Autoblog and New Car Test Drive

Quote:
The Mazda3 looks smooth, pretty and aerodynamic. The sedan boasts a smooth 0.27 coefficient of drag, while the five-door gets a 0.29 Cd, slippery for a hatchback.

Tesla Model S - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:
The 2012 Tesla Model S Performance model has a 416 hp (310 kW) and 443 ft·lb (600 N·m) rear-mounted electric motor. The base model uses a 362 hp (270 kW) and 325 ft·lb (440 N·m) motor. According to Tesla Motors the electric car has a drag coefficient of Cd=0.24,[56] the lowest of any car in the market, except some models of the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class released following the Model S.
The lower the Cd typically the more beautiful the car, at least in the eyes of an aerodynamicist.
