audi v8 and v10 different widths?

[dpe_g35]

hey,

so i was comparing specs between v8 and v10 models and i came across that the v8 width is 75" wide and the v10 is 76" wide. i know its a 1" difference but what does the v10 have exterior vise that the v8 doesn't?


heres the link to the spec comparison http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_R8_(road_car)

The v10 has the wider sideblades, remember ? And the car probably has 305s, a wider tires in the rear too.

Here are the specs from the audi brochure showing all the width dimensions for the coupes



the nice thing with pdf brochures is you can really zoom in - here you can clearly see that the width diff is down to the blade scoop:

Yes the V10 will be wider due to its sideskirts and sideblades but the difference is minimal you will only notice it slightly more when driving slowly in carparks.

Any appreciable diff in Cd?

What do you mean by Cd?

What do you mean by Cd?

Coefficient of drag.

The hp the V10 makes versus the V8 completely negates the Cd...

V8's have sexier lines... (and I'm biased about it, so ignore this line of this post)

Not sure about the V8, but I think Cd of the V10 is around 0.31. Can't imagine there's enough difference to have any effect.

The width difference doesn't effect driving feel as the true width is the same (at the mirrors).
