Attempt to take off: 10 cars with extreme wings
Content
No matter how actively hybrids and electric vehicles are developed, there will always be a place in the world for old-school supercars with powerful and loud engines combined with an impressive appearance. The recently debuted Mercedes-AMG Black Series reminded everyone of how complex the additional aerodynamic elements of a car can be. Its wing looks like it was taken from an FIA GT championship car.
However, the Mercedes supercar is no exception. A similar element is placed on a number of current models. It has a huge size and complex configuration.
Bugatti Chiron Pure Sport
Supercars of the French brand are famous not only for their dynamic performance and high speed, but also for their stability on the road or on the track. This version is 50 kg. It is lighter than the standard model and is tuned on the legendary Nürburgring North Arc. An important role in the performance of the machine is played by a fixed wing with a width of 1,8 meters.
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
The latest front-engined Corvette boasts a monstrous 8 hp V750 engine. and 969 Nm. Despite a few extra aerodynamic details, the "old school" American supercar makes it into this ranking, as its wing is just as impressive.
Dodge Viper ACR
Rattlesnake was discontinued two years ago and left a major gap. And its hardcore version of ACR (American Club Racing) is even more impressive because it combines an insane 8,4-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine with 654 hp, a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive.
In this case, this car cannot rely only on electronics, it needs excellent aerodynamics. The main role in it is played by a huge wing, which creates a compressive force of 900 kg at a speed of 285 km / h and practically does not allow the car to take off.
Koenigsegg Jesko
One ton of downforce at 275 km / h is enough for the spectacular wing of this hypercar to be recognized as the most spectacular among the participants in this selection. Moreover, in a Shevda car, it is active and changes its position depending on the speed. Thanks to the 5,0-liter V8 turbo engine with 1600 hp. and 1500 Nm up to 483 km / h.
Lamborghini Aventador SVJ
Lamborghini argues that the structure housed in the rear of the Aventador SVJ cannot be called a "wing" or "spoiler". The Italians define this element as the Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva and are already using version 2.0 (the first appeared on the Huracan Performante).
In fact, it is a complex of active aerodynamic elements equipped with a system of internal air ducts. Thanks to them, the maximum compression force in the corners is ensured and the drag of the straight section is minimized.
McLaren Senna
The hypercar, named after the legendary Ayrton Senna, is the second most efficient aerodynamic element on this list. At a speed of 250 km / h, an active wing weighing 4,87 kg. Provides a downforce of 800 kg.
Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series
Only 275 lucky people will be able to become the owners of the latest new model developed in Afaltarbach. The aggressive AMG Black series is powered by a 8 hp V730 turbo engine. and 800 Nm, so do not think that an impressive wing is put on this car just for decoration.
Buy Airplane BC Roadster
The hypercar maker likes to call its models "the anthem of the Renaissance." Beautiful 802 hp roadster. and the weight of 1250 kg costs more than 3 million euros due to the limited edition of 40 pieces. Against the background of these figures, his wing looks rather modest.
Porsche RS 911 GT3
This is one of the most impressive sports cars on the planet. The body rests on a 6-cylinder "boxer" that rotates up to 9000 rpm. and provides acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 3,2 seconds, the main distinguishing feature of the version is the fixed wing. It is an integral part of every generation of the model.
Zenvo TSR-WORLD
A key aerodynamic element of the Zenvo TSR-S supercar is the so-called “floating wing” of the Zenvo Centripetal Wing. Thanks to the non-standard design, this element not only changes the angle of attack, but also moves its position.
The huge, movable spoiler creates an air stabilizer effect and acts as an air brake. The compressive force it generates is 3 times that of the TS1 GT model.
