A guide to the best spoilers at the Geneva motor show
From the Boeing-borrowed wing astride the rear of the £1.8 million Aston Martin Vulcan to the somewhat subtler RS-branded spoiler mounted high on the new fast Ford Focus, there are aerodynamic aids everywhere.
We’re sure the engineers will argue they’re for extra downforce and superior grip in high-speed corners, but let’s be honest: aren’t they as much a function of the show-offs in the styling department in many cases?
The motorsport-derived GT cars may beg to differ: the Mercedes-AMG GT3 unveiled overnight is a racer pure and simple, and the Porsche Cayman GT4 thinks it is, despite its road-car status.
Aston Martin says the Vulcan’s scaffolding adds ***InsertYourBodyweightHereKg*** of extra downforce over the rear axle at ***HeroTrackSpeedHere***.
Which may be true.
But it’s hard to see past the sheer drama of extrovert rear wings like the P1 GTR’s. And be damned if it’s tricky to reverse park.
