The Dive Planes for the Porsche 718 GT4 were specifically designed to increase front-end downforce, increase the high-pressure airflow to the factory intake duct, and to keep drag increase minimal.

They produce a safe aero balance with or without the addition of our rear wing.  The units were designed in CAD using scan data and optimized using CFD within OpenFOAM.

These units are constructed from 1.5mm thick pre-preg, autoclaved cured, 2x2 twill carbon, with an automotive clear finish.

Dive planes also referred to as canards, allow you to shift the aero balance forward, possibly aiding you and your setup in balancing out a large rear wing or diffuser.

*Not compatible with the 718 GT4RS.

SCIENCE

Dive planes help tune the aerodynamic balance of a vehicle by shifting the balance forward without the need of a larger front splitter. A larger front splitter can be prohibitive to driving the car on the street, thus we were able to create a street-able package that produces enough front end downforce to balance the large rear wing and diffuser on our kit. We developed the dual dive plane kit to work well with our Ventus 1 Aero kit for the GT4.

Another goal of the dual dive plane kit was to feed the intake ducts clean, high-pressure air to improve engine power. At high rates of speed, this high pressure can build-up in the intake and create a small supercharge effect (positive pressure) in the intake manifold to improve horsepower and torque. This also ensures that the GT4 is receiving the coldest air possible at the intake filter.

Our Tools Of The Trade

 

---

 

We can provide the best aftermarket car parts because we understand your vehicle's systems and what impacts performance. We are well-versed in:

? Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)

? Finite element analysis (FEA)

? Heat transfer

? Thermodynamics

By understanding these principles, we can create aftermarket parts that outperform factory components and the competition. We get exceptional results by using the following tools of the trade:

Computer-Aided Design (CAD)

We can bring nearly anything to life thanks to our expertise in various design techniques. This

includes sheet metal, simple 3D designs, and surfacing techniques. We can then apply our designs using a variety of manufacturing methods such as:

?  Sheet metal components

?  Machined components

?  Plastic-injected components

?  Plastic blow-molded parts

?  Vacuum Formed Components

?  Cast components (various materials)

?  Forged components

?  Composites

?  And More

Reverse Engineering

We utilize reverse engineering daily to create our own components and those requested by

customers. Verus can help you design, improve, and manufacture any idea or component you

have in mind. We have extensive experience in all vehicle systems and craft components used

in:

? Engines

? Heat exchanging

? Suspensions

? Drivelines

? Aerodynamics

We can help with nearly any project!

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

CFD is our forte and a useful processing technique for any situation where a fluid (air, water, oil,

coolant) is flowing. We can test both internal and external flow and various fluids. For internal

applications, this can help us increase heat rejection and decrease pressure drop in heat

exchange applications. CFD can also be used to find possible bottlenecks and aid in the design

of manifolds. Externally, we can predict how components impact a vehicle's lift (downforce),

drag, and aerodynamic balance.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

FEA allows us to test complex shapes and loads on components that would otherwise be very

difficult to estimate through hand calculations. Components can be made lighter and stronger

through multiple design iterations than their OEM counterparts. This process is a potent and

helpful tool when in the right hands. We have significant experience using FEA to improve

suspension components and aerodynamic, load-carrying components, but this can be expanded

to other projects.

3D Scanning

A highly accurate 3D scanner improves reverse engineering and design engineering

capabilities. We can easily scan most objects, which greatly helps the engineering process. In

addition, the portability of hand-held scanners allows us to scan items both large and small all

over the country depending on the project at hand.
