The aerodynamic revolution. The C3 100's 0.30 drag coefficient was the lowest of any production sedan — a technical achievement that reshaped the entire industry.

History

Audi invested heavily in wind-tunnel development for the C3, and the results were visible in every surface. The flush-mounted glass, smooth underbody, and tapered tail weren't styling — they were engineering. The Quattro variant brought all-wheel drive to the executive class.
