Default Drag coefficient

Hi ..

Does anyone know what is the drag coefficient Cd for the 2002 Audi A4 ?
I have read its 0.28 but in audiusa.com they say the 1.8T Fronttrack is 0.30 and all other modles is 0.31 ..

Don't believe what you read, put it in a wind tunnel and find out the truth.

Default 0.28 are Euro-spec numbers, US-spec has different bumpers

Maybe that explains the difference...or e.g. wider tires from factory.

It's .30 and .31...not too impressive - the Audi's from 15 years ago were .28
