OK so I was a bit board.

Width of an Alfa 75: 1.66 metres.
Height of an Alfa: 1.4 metres.
Frontal area of an Alfa 75: 2.324 square metres.

At 110km/hr you travel 30.56 metres/second.

At 110km/hr, a 75 dispaces about 71.02 cubic metres of air every second. That's 71021.44 litres of air per second. 255677184 litres of air displaced in 1 hour @ 110km/hr.

From the ever reliable intrawebz, I found out that air at sea level on a 25*C day weighs 1.18Kg/cubic metre.

So at 110km/hr, a 75 moves 83.804Kg of air out of the way every second. Or 301692.96 of air every hour........



Appoximate width of my Toyota MR2: 1.6 metres.
Approximate height of my Toyota MR2: 1.2 metres.
Approximate frontal area of my Toyota MR2: 1.92 square metres.

At 110km/hr you travel 30.56 metres/second.

At 110km/hr, my MR2 dispaces about 58.67 cubic metres of air every second. That's 58666.67 litres of air per second. 211200000 litres of air displaced in 1 hour @ 110km/hr.

So at 110km/hr, my MR2 moves 69.23Kg of air out of the way every second. Or 249230.16Kg of air every hour........

And that's why aerodynamics is so important.

And I'm not going to check your figures.

Whaaat?!?!

Mats , you....of all the folks on here.....are going to trust that someone else's information is accurate??

Now I know the world is ending.

Drive your Alfa while you still can people.

Hey Duk-one. That's not necessarily true. I tried weighing a fart once- you know the type, a true blue soup cooler but it would sit on the scales..
