Holden Combo Aerodynamicists Optimised The Design
18th September 2011

Combo’s basic shape comes close to the ideal droplet flow pattern. With the help of computer simulations and wind tunnel testing, aerodynamicists optimised the design to achieve a drag co-efficient of 0.35. The resultant low wind resistance benefits fuel consumption and safety is improved via optimised lift and downforce behaviour and crosswind stability.
Aerodynamic detailing includes:
• A flexible front lip beneath the bumper and a spoiler action rear wheel arch trim improve airflow around front and rear axles.
• Spoiler lips integrated into the rear lights and upper tailgate create optimal airflow in this area.
• A-pillar trim shape prevents rainwater flowing from the windscreen to side windows and reduces wind noise.
• Engine hood is slightly raised at the rear to direct airflow over the wipers.
• The gap between large outside mirrors and the body is closed by a rubber lip, which effectively keeps dirt off the side windows
.
Damage Control
Combo is designed to reduce off-road downtime in the event of an accident.
Its large unpainted bumpers can take parking knocks without suffering damage and their wrap-around corners also protect side panels. Side protection mouldings all round and plastic panels in the wheel arches further increase protection levels.
