70's S-Class Aerodynamics....a question
Does anyone have any sort of aerodynamic diagrams or graphical representations of the 77-80 116 cars?
or better yet, is anyone capable (calling all aerospace engineers!) of producing a 3D model??

You can get a diagram on the W116.org site.
What is your objective? |

I'm thinking air extractors and inlets to blast high pressure cool air down into a custom built plenum.
but then I thought about it today, and decided that extractors on the hood wouldn't really extract would they? over the hood is high pressure and would only serve as an inlet. I have access to several different styles of extractors and inlets. it's choosing the right one. I guess my goal is to have asthetically pleasing inlet/vents on the hood while gaining some function... would still be intersted in diagrams tho.

This would be for an air intake system or are you trying to increase downforce on a W116?

A little bit of both. I know I can only go so far with the downforce thing, and I'm not going to be able to go fast enough to have to worry about down force, but I'm sure it'd help to evacuate some of the air pressure in the engine compartment..if anything it'd bring the under hood temps down a little.
At 140Kmh I can watch my hood try to rise out of it's hole. maybe I'm crazy
