Summary

Description
English: Schlörwagen from the front
  • The Schlörwagen was an experimental vehicle that caused quite a stir in 1939. Its aerodynamic performance, expressed as its drag coefficient (Cd value), was a mere 0.186 and therefore a real sensation. Subsequent measurements that Volkswagen conducted on a model during the 1970s confirmed the Schlörwagen's Cd of just 0.15. Modern cars possess Cd values of between 0.24 and 0.3 and therefore do not come close to the Schlörwagen's perfectly tailored aerodynamic shape. Only modern experimental vehicles such as the Volkswagen '1-litre car' or the ETH Zürich ‘PAC-Car II’ have lower Cd values.
Deutsch: Schlörwagen von vorne
  • Der Schlörwagen war ein Experimentalauto, das 1939 für Aufsehen sorgte. Seine Windschlüpfigkeit, gemessen als sogenannter Strömungswiderstandskoeffizient (Cw-Wert), war mit 0,186 sensationell niedrig. Nachmessungen von VW in den siebziger Jahren an einem Modell bescheinigten dem Schlörwagen sogar einen Cw von nur 0,15. Heutige Pkw reichen mit einem Cw-Wert von 0,24 bis 0,3 nicht an die günstige aerodynamische Form des Schlörwagens heran. Lediglich moderne Experimentalautos wie das sogenannte 1-Liter-Auto von VW oder das PAC-Car II der ETH Zürich weisen niedrigere Cw-Werte auf.

  • La Schlörwagen est un véhicule expérimental qui a fait beaucoup de bruit en 1939. Ses performances aérodynamiques, exprimées par son coefficient de traînée (Cx) de seulement 0,186, ont donc sensation. Des mesures ultérieures effectuées par Volkswagen sur un modèle réduit dans les années 1970 dégagèrent un Cx de seulement 0,15. Les voitures modernes possèdent des valeurs de Cx comprises entre 0,24 et 0,3 et restent donc loin des performances aérodynamiques de cette création de Karl Schlör aux formes parfaites. Seuls les véhicules expérimentaux modernes tels que la "voiture 1 litre" de Volkswagen ou la "PAC-Car II" de l’ETH Zurich ont des valeurs de Cx inférieures..
