- Chassis Mount Required
Key Technical Features:
-
Airfoil Design
- The airfoil profile of the GT-1000 is engineered for high-efficiency downforce generation with an emphasis on minimizing drag. The airfoil's 2D shape has been rendered through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to provide balanced performance by improving rear-end stability without excessive drag penalties.
- Dual Foils design creates an effective pressure differential across the upper and lower surfaces, maximizing airflow attachment and minimizing flow separation, especially at high speeds. (CFD data available)
-
Adjustable Angle of Attack
- The GT-1000 features a fully adjustable angle of attack, allowing precise tuning of the wing’s aerodynamic properties. This adjustability enables the user to customize the downforce and drag characteristics based on specific track conditions, vehicle dynamics, and performance requirements.
- The angle of attack can be adjusted within a range of 10° to 52° on upper foil (with bottom main foil locked at 4°) to cater to varying aerodynamic needs. Higher angles increase downforce for enhanced cornering and braking, while lower angles reduce drag for improved straight-line speed
-
Aerodynamic Efficiency and Performance
- The wing's shape and construction have been optimized to achieve a 9 to 1 downforce-to-drag ratio, where the generation of downforce remains high, but drag is kept to a minimum, allowing the vehicle to maintain high levels of cornering stability without sacrificing straight-line speed.
- The ability to adjust the wing's settings allows users to quickly adapt to different circuit conditions, from tight, technical corners requiring high downforce to high-speed straights demanding minimal drag.

-
Downforce and Drag Characteristics
- When set to higher angles, the GT-1000 generates consistent level of downforce, increasing the vertical load on the rear tires, improving traction, and enhancing cornering capabilities.
- At lower angles of attack, the wing minimizes drag, reducing aerodynamic resistance, which improves top speed for circuits that demand high-speed performance or straight-line acceleration.
-
Carbon Fiber Construction
- The wing is constructed from pre-impregnated woven carbon fiber sheet, ensuring both lightweight performance and exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Carbon fiber's natural rigidity prevents flexing at high speeds, maintaining consistent aerodynamic performance even under heavy aerodynamic loads.
- The use of autoclave-cured carbon fiber in aluminum billet molds ensures optimal material density, high durability, and resistance to heat and stress-induced deformation.
-
Mounting
- Variable, vehicle application specific. Please contact APR Performance to provide mounting distance for the wing build.
- GT-1000 is chassis mount only.
-
Compact Size and Versatility
- The GT-1000 is designed to be one of top high downforce wings, offering a balance between downforce and drag for vehicles that require extreme aerodynamic solutions. It is particularly suited for track cars and time attack vehicles seeking high-performance upgrades without the overbearing drag characteristics of larger aero components.
- The wing’s compact dimensions and design allow for easier integration into a wider range of vehicles while still offering the benefits of significant downforce and aero stability
-
Vehicle Fitment and Customization
- Variable, vehicle application specific. Please contact APR Performance for fitment solution for the wing build.
- The GT-1000 is ideal for track-oriented cars requiring high downforce.
