If you're looking for a serious wing to amp up your Audi R8, the GTC-500 Carbon Fiber Adjustable Wing is where it’s at. Spanning a hefty 74 inches, this beast is the largest wing in APR's lineup, and trust me, it means business. It's designed with a slick 3D airfoil shape that strikes the perfect balance between downforce and drag—ideal for those high-speed runs on the track or just cruising on the highway.
This wing isn’t just about looks; it's engineered to perform. The CFD analysis that went into its design ensures that while you're getting that much-needed downforce, you're not dragging your ride down with excess wind resistance. So, whether you're hitting the straightaways or tackling those sharp corners, you can count on this wing to keep your R8 planted.
Now, let’s talk materials. The airfoil is crafted from carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), which means you’re getting a lightweight yet incredibly strong component. The pre-pregnated woven carbon fiber sheets used in its construction add to its durability without weighing you down. Plus, it’s made using top-notch manufacturing processes like high-temperature autoclave and vacuum bagging, all in robust aluminum billet molds. This isn’t just a wing; it’s a piece of engineering art.
Supporting this impressive airfoil are 10mm “aircraft grade” 6061 billet aluminum pedestals, finished in a flat black powder coat. They’re not just there for show; they provide solid support to keep everything stable at speed.
In short, if you want a wing that not only looks killer but also enhances your car’s performance, the GTC-500 is a solid choice. Just make sure your R8 is ready for it!
