HAHAHA awesome! Now mount it to decklid of a front wheel drive Asian model so it’s totally and completely useless!

i was thinking about a spoiler that follows steering actions (in opposite way certainly), acting like a rudder. it might help to keep the car stable in long sweeping corners at really high speeds.

Besides the Veyron, the Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR4 / Dodge Stealth had active aerodynamics in front and back over 10 years ago. They were heavy complicated cars and that idea of an automatic variable pitch spoiler never caught on (besides super cars).

The only way I could see this as being useful is to adjust the angle of attack going into corners and straights. As if the driver doesn’t have enough to do already.

apexi actually have or atleast had (think it’s discontinued now) a system like this, it’s just the bottom part tho, so you’ll have to get your wing-blade yourself, but i guess that’s not neccesearly a bad thing

[...] The Motion ActiVAD GT Wing system receives a constant data stream from sensors placed all over the vehicle and adjusts accordingly. It’s slated for production as early as 2010, according to Yanko. [...]

Nothing that new? Ok! So let me know where I can find something similar for my street car…
Please try to understand that track racing is not the only way to be a car enthusiast. And remember: moving wings, in car racing, are just forbidden.

Just be sure to add some extra structural support below the mount points under the trunk lid. Otherwise the “air brake” mode activation at 125 MPH will probably make that wing rip itself off ( and perhaps the trunk lid along with it)
