The Dive Planes for the Porsche 991.1 GT3/GT3RS were specifically designed to increase front-end downforce, increase the high-pressure airflow to the factory intake duct, and to keep drag increase minimal.
Depending on driver preference, no rear aero is needed to balance out these units. We have seen up to 0.7 second gains due to increased front end grip at high speed corners which allows improved corner speed. If as a driver you feel the car needs more rear stability, we would not suggest these units without adding a rear aerodynamic device.
The units were designed in CAD using scan data and optimized using CFD within ANSYS Fluent.
These units are constructed from 1.5mm thick pre-preg, autoclaved cured, 2x2 twill carbon in both a matte and gloss clear coat.
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.

Science:
Dive planes help tune the aerodynamic balance of a vehicle by shifting the balance forward without the need for 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 on our kit. We developed the dual dive plane kit to work well with our various Ventus kits for the GT3 and GT3RS.
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 GT3RS 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.
