ECS Tuning in-house designed and engineered Functional Aero Rear Wing Kit is an all-in-one solution to providing your Volkswagen MK7/MK7.5 GTI or Golf R with more downforce necessary to improve rear tire grip for improved handling. This kit was specifically engineered for the MK7 GTI and Golf R and includes all of the components necessary for a comprehensive install and feature top-tier quality components for long term durability, such as the carbon fibre wing, billet aluminium mounting brackets, and 5052 aluminium uprights, water proof gaskets and black oxide stainless steel hardware.
The spoiler has an adjustable AoA (Angle of Attack) between 1.3°, 6.8°, 12.3° and 17.8° to perfect downforce to drag ratio. The end plates are adjustable for aerodynamic needs and the 5mm thick powder coated aluminium uprights maintain wing position at track speeds.
PART DESIGN
All components in-house designed and engineered to provide functional aerodynamic benefits, specific to the MK7 GTI/Golf R body, using FARO ARM laser scanning technology and SolidWorks 3D CAD modelling for precision fitment along with FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to provide the best balance between downforce while minimizing drag.
Carbon Fibre Rear Wing:
- Specifically engineered 60" width
- Made from lightweight, hand-laid carbon fibre material with pre-impregnated 2x2 twill weave carbon fibre cloth and epoxy resin, then autoclave cured and finished in a durable gloss clear coat for UV and heat protection
- Eppler 423 high lift airfoil profile
- Peak Lift to drag ratio is at 5 degrees angle of attack
- Downforce peaks and begins dropping at 14 degrees angle of attack
- 3D wing profile with forward and upward curvature
- Anodized aluminium threaded inserts at the wing ends and mounting bosses
Wing End Plates:
- Aerodynamic profile, made from 12ga 5052 aluminium, then black anodized
- Adjustable end plate angle
- Includes stainless steel mounting hardware
Wing Mounting Brackets:
- Made from 6061-T6 billet aluminium, then black anodized
- Adjustable pitch to dial in the spoiler's angle of attack between 1.3° and 17.8° ; each hole adjusts ~5.5° of AoA
- Includes M8 stainless steel, black oxide hardware
- Subtle, post-anodized engraved logo
Upright Brackets:
- Made from 5mm thick 5052 aluminium, then powder coated wrinkle black
- Utilizes zinc-coated rivet nuts within the upper body shell (requires drilling into the shell and trimming of the factory hatch spoiler) and billet aluminium lower mounting brackets (requires drilling through the hatch shell)
Lower Mounting Brackets:
- CNC-Machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminium then black anodized
- Lower-interior backing plate ensures the hatch shell resists deformation and properly supports downward forces
- Rubber Mounting Gaskets
- Water-proof rubber gaskets ensure a leak-free seal at the upper and lower hatch shell mounting brackets
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
Assists with rear tire contact by applying downforce over the rear axle. This is very beneficial on FWD vehicles where rear traction loss may occur at high speed cornering.
This wing produces up to 100 lbf of downforce when measured at 80mph, 220 lbf at 120mph and 300 lbf at 140mph
Performance data metrics are collected utilizing FEA (Finite Element Analysis) software to validate our design
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Our ECS Functional Aerodynamic Rear Wing Kit was designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modelling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long term product testing.
