So, its a good test - made by some russian sport drivers. I wouldnt tell you, that they said - Xfire is not a sport car and etc. =)

But heres the important info.

First is elevating (lift) force on some hight speeds (144 and 200 kph)




Then - the drag effect is Сх=0,39. Is very high. But the spoiler is very usefull






They dont like Xfire (with auto trans and non-srt), but the time on lap - is better than RX8 and TT. Thats funny - couse they said the reason is soft suspension - Xfire can hop on border without braking.

There a lot of intersting things - that i just cant translate.

 

That's very cool, thanks for bringing this up and translating what you could. Love the shot of the Crossfire in the wind tunnel.

Look at the lift/downforce numbers for the 350Z - the front gets very planted and the rear end gets very light. That looks downright dangerous at speed!


But they really should have tested a 6MT Crossfire against those other cars.

 

I think - maybe it usefull to install a little front spoiler under bumper?

 

It should be in english now.http://www.windowslivetranslator.com...e_id%3D4038830

 

Let me know if it works I've never tried it as link.

 

They like the design... and they call it a Mercedes in several places... but do complain a couple things..

"Interior is positioned like the Benz and everything is in the right place, but the quality is lower"

 

Cool find! Thanks!

 

I think its not working.

I like this translater - try.

The translation is rough, but it works after you change the translation to "Russian to English" and hit the 'go' button.

Nice find. I really like the overall low lift numbers at high speed. Some simple lowering and a more exaggerated front air dam and side skirts would really knock that down.

Cheers!

 

it's cool, interesting information, thanks for sharing.
