Lotus Elan and Lotus Elan Plus 2 Forums

Afternoon all
I've been looking into the drag co-effieicnet of the plus 2 and have found various sources that say it was eitehr 0.32 or 0.30. Anyone know the true value?

Probably higher than that. They would have tested models back then. A real car undercarriage would add drag, as would the non flush windows.

An old post that is about as close as this topic has ever been discussed before was started by our moderator.
