Fixed type large-sized rear wing

By enlarging the wing in a transverse

direction and by making the wing and

its deflector form a gurney lip, down-

force is efficiently generated.

Furthermore, end plates are integrated

into both ends of the wing, reducing

induced drag and optimizing the

wing°s efficiency.

Aluminum support frame

An aluminum support frame has been mounted in the area where the active rear wing

is stored in the standard package, increasing the support’s rigidity.

This helped to ensure that the fixed type large-sized rear wing that can withstand a

load of 3500 N while also achieving a significant weight reduction.
