Styling comes alive
in the aerodynamic Cressida
A good-Iooking car may not be
aerodynamically efficient, but an
aerodynamically efficient car always
looks good.
Witness Cressida.
Flowing lines speak of class and
prestige. And they have low drag
coefficients, too. Thanks to countless
hours spent with a full-sized
prototype in Toyota's mammoth wind
tunnel.
Specifically, the hood is
slanted sharply to enter
the air stream cleanly,
creating little drag.
Windshield wipersO are
dropped down below the
hood line, concealing
them and taking them out
of the air flow.
The rear deck is high
and chopped off sharply
at the tail. Bath proved
aerodynamically efficien!. The
chopped tail, especially, creates a
negative lift to give better traction
and promote tracking stability.
Beneath the flexible front bumper
is an air-dam front spoiler that works
with the air flow to keep the tyres
firmly on the raad. The bumpers f)
wrap completely around, front and

rear, providing an extra measure of
protection. Then wide, thick side
mouldings add to that protection.
Rectangular headlamps ê fit sa
precisely that nothing protrudes to
disturb the smooth flow of air.
The taillamp cluster Ois just as
smoothly fitted as the headlamps.
Plus it's extra large and highly
visible to other drivers, an additional
margin of safety.
Even the outside rear view mirrors
0are designed into aerodynamically
efficient covers. Nothing disturbs the
slipstream.
To enhance its look of prestige
even further, styled steel disks are
used. They are designed to make the
wheels look larger than they really
