All,
Wanted to give you an update on the project. The design has been finalized and molds are being built. We’ve signed a contract for an initial batch of 10 wings which should be coming out of the molds and autoclave by 8/24. Some additional details on the final design
- We’ve updated the airfoil to a modern design, replacing the “upside down whale” shape of the original 90’s shape.
- This will provide a much cleaner look as well as a significant increase in downforce/reduction in drag from the original
- The end mounts are being re-contoured to match the new airfoil shape – so they will have a stick appearance consistent with the new airfoil.
- The 968 trim pieces on the sides and rear of the hatch are being molded into the wing mounts. This means that for both 944’s and 968’s, you will not need to make any modifications, and will be able mount the wing in the stock locations with stock hardware. Plus, for 968 cars, you’ll be able to re-sell your OEM trim pieces
- For racers who are looking for additional performance - we will be offering the Gurney flap/wicker slot built into the wing, as well as several gurney heights when the wing is being molded. This is the option that will be shown in the prototype due from engineering in a week or so. Pricing on this option is
TBD.
For the standard wing option – Black Painted carbon trim and end plates, wing adjusters, and visible carbon weave wing will be $1600
We will begin taking deposits towards the end of the week of 8/20 as soon as we show finished product on the car.
