Description
The APR Performance GTC-500 adjustable wing delivers precision aerodynamic performance through its engineered 71-inch span design specifically developed for the Audi R8 platform from 2006 to 2014. This adjustable wing addresses the need for customizable downforce generation on high-performance supercars, utilizing an optimized 3D airfoil shape that reduces drag while supplying an ample amount of downforce. The adjustable design allows drivers to optimize aerodynamic balance for varying track conditions and performance requirements.
The GTC-500 incorporates APR Performance’s advanced 3D airfoil design that was developed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis to validate its aerodynamic characteristics and support the wing’s performance capabilities. This engineering methodology ensures optimal airflow management and downforce generation while minimizing drag penalties across the 71-inch wingspan. The 3D airfoil approach allows the wing to achieve superior aerodynamic efficiency for high-speed touring applications.
Each GTC-500 wing is constructed from lightweight carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials, specifically utilizing pre-pregnated woven carbon fiber sheets that provide superior strength and low weight essential for high-speed aerodynamic applications. The manufacturing process employs pre-pregnated composite techniques including high-temperature autoclave and vacuum bagging processes in high-quality aluminum billet molds, ensuring consistent structural integrity throughout the carbon fiber construction.
Supporting the carbon fiber airfoil are precision-engineered 10mm aircraft-grade 6061 billet aluminum pedestals that come in a flat black powder coat finish. This chassis-mounted design requires modification to the factory trunk for proper installation, with mounting bases positioned at the edges of the trunk lid to provide secure attachment points for the aerodynamic assembly.
