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 2016 to 2022. This adjustable wing addresses the need for customizable downforce generation on high-performance supercars, utilizing an optimized 3D airfoil shape that supplies an ample amount of downforce without causing excess drag. The adjustable design allows drivers to optimize aerodynamic balance for high speed touring applications and varying track conditions.
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 design approach allows the wing to achieve an optimal balance of downforce while reducing drag compared to conventional wing designs.
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 quality and structural integrity throughout the carbon fiber construction.
The wing features 10mm aircraft grade 6061 billet aluminum pedestals that support the carbon fiber airfoil structure with a flat black powder coat finish. The chassis-mounted design includes a carbon fiber active spoiler panel replacement that integrates with the R8’s existing aerodynamic systems. Additional chassis support brackets provide enhanced structural mounting for the wing assembly.
