Spanning 71" inches, the GTC-500 Audi R8 Carbon Fiber Adjustable Wing is the largest wing available in APR's catalog. With its optimized 3D airfoil shape, the GTC-500 is perfect for high speed touring applications and supplies an ample amount of downforce without causing excess drag. All GTC Series wings feature an aerodynamic 3D designed airfoil shape to obtain the optimal balance of downforce. This design allows for a reduction in drag, yet maintains an ideal level of downforce. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed on this wing to support validation of its aerodynamic design.
Each GTC Series airfoil is composed of lightweight and durable carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials. These airfoils contain pre-pregnated woven carbon fiber sheets for superior strength and low weight. All CFRP airfoils are made using pre-pregnated composite manufacturing processes (i.e. high-temperature autoclave and vacuum bagging) in high-quality aluminum billet molds.
Supporting the airfoils are 10mm "aircraft grade" 6061 billet aluminum pedestals that come in a flat black powder coat finish.
This wing includes a Carbon Fiber Active Spoiler Replacement Panel. This Replacement Panel takes the place of the Factory Active Spoiler Panel, and maintains the Active Spoiler function.
The New Carbon Fiber Active Spoiler Panel is designed with an area cut out. This cut out allows the pedestals to mount directly to the chassis support brackets.
Alleviating the customer of having to cut or modify their Factory Active Spoiler Panel.
Note: Mounting bases sit at edges of trunk lid ***This is a chassis mount wing. Comes with Carbon Fiber Active spoiler Replacement***
