The new smart #3 aerodynamic design
The all-electric car brand smart has released additional details of its upcoming and intelligent premium SUV-coupé #3. It was developed to feature world-class aerodynamics, combining excellent performance with dynamic design. Crafted with a more powerful, sportier interpretation of the same premium design philosophy behind the smart #1, the new smart #3 offers a drag coefficient of just 0.27.
The newly designed smart #3 comes with advanced aerodynamics which comprises various features aimed at enhancing its performance. The front of the car features an AGS grille, as well as air curtains, front wheel air dam, and a specific rim design to further improve its efficiency. A diffuser on the rear and an optimized spoiler round off its streamlined shape. Additionally, the smart #3 has aerodynamic mirrors, concealed door handles, and an optimized underbody, which adds to its sleek design.
Automotive aerodynamic research shows that at a speed of 80 kilometres per hour, most of a vehicle’s total energy consumption is used to overcome wind resistance. In the case of electric vehicles, a low drag coefficient significantly improves vehicle range, efficiency, and top speed. In addition, the #3’s low drag coefficient allows users to enjoy reduced vibration and wind noise, a testament to smart engineering and Mercedes-Benz’s premium design philosophy.
