The silver film helps to prevent the cockpit heating up too much due to the solar radiation. The new Le Mans sports car’s single-arm windscreen wiper was also developed in the Audi Wind Tunnel Center.
Fogging and soiling of the complexly formed windscreen which, in contrast to a production car, is curved in not just one direction but two, is manufactured from plastic and was also tested in the climatic wind tunnel. The screen is heated to prevent fogging.
For possible soiling a three-stage plan was developed which, subject to the level of soiling, allows for simple wiping, wiping with detergent or the removal of one of several layers of rip-off films.
