2010 Audi

Although media focus has shifted to its smaller Q5 crossover, Audi hasn't forgotten about the larger Q7. The 2010 model, debuting at this week's 2009 Shanghai motor show, sports a few small repairs, helping it fit in with Audi's heavily-revised portfolio.
If you're a fan of the Q7's physical form, you'll be elated to know the crossover's shape doesn't change for 2010. Exterior changes are limited, with the largest revision being revised front and rear bumper skins. Others, notably the new grille insert and LED daytime running lamps, help bring the Q7 in line with the company's current design ethic.

Efficient Designs Reduce Drag By 60% to 80%!

Aircraft, trucks, autos, ducted fans and vacuum cleaners that undergo this new, completely efficient design for drag reduction (air friction) may decrease their drag by 60% to 80%, while also increasing engine power and speed. There are two main design features:

1) Rear fuselage/body drag reduction devices.

2) Engine intake manifold and exhaust flow system.

The rear foil designs have been tested and results prove to initially reduce the rear aerodynamic drag coefficients by 64% for a six ton diesel truck. The foils increased acceleration and speeds for uphill climbs, cruise and top speeds and reduced a seven hour trip to five hours.
