CLK vs A5 vs E92 vs E coupe
Hi all,
I was talking with some friends about some experiences and some questions came out.
For experience, we know that in the same Hp class the E coupe is quicker, arguments are only the low cx 0.248
Any one knows the cx of the other models? (clk, A5 and E90)
We can compare it in this thread and talk about the other cars in the CLK segment.
I noticed that cx and drag coefficient is not the same, any quick explanation about it?
PS: I ask about this because in Europe, the coupe of the moment is the E coupe, but all A5 fans say that its quicker! Facts are that E coupe have 231Hp and 525Nm 7gear from 3.0L V6, A5 240Hp 500Nm 6 gear from 3.0L V6.
Offcourse I'm talking about diesel cars
but the question is, the cars are very equivalent, but somehow the E coupe in Highway is quicker from mid speed to high speeds.
Same thing will happen to the petrol versions I think.

You can't assume what happens with diesels will happen with petrols. Totally different engines, mate. Totally different response and attitudes.
Here's a comparison between both V6 models, both petrol.
2009 Audi A5 3.2: 1710 kg, 261bhp, 243ft/lb, 0-100 in 6.9 seconds. That's with an 8 speed CVT transmission.
2009 Mercedes Benz E350 Coupe BlueTec: 1670kg, 288bhp, 269ft/lbs, 0-100 in 6.5 seconds. 7 speed automatic transmission.
There you go, I guess. Both V6 versions compared, Mercedes is faster. Source is carfolio.com.
