Description
The Verus Engineering Front Splitter Kit for the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 is engineered to significantly increase front-end downforce while maintaining a strong balance between aerodynamic performance, durability, and street usability. Designed using direct vehicle scan data and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), this front splitter works as part of the Verus Engineering Ventus 3 Aerodynamics Package and is specifically engineered to complement the UCW Rear Wing Kit and rear diffuser for a balanced aerodynamic setup.
The front splitter creates a pressure differential between its upper and lower surfaces, generating substantial front-end downforce with a minimal increase in aerodynamic drag. The design is capable of handling the additional aerodynamic loads produced by large rear wings and is rated to withstand 300+ lbs of downforce.
For a secure and durable installation, the splitter mounts to two primary chassis locations and incorporates quick-release mounting points for easier removal when required. All hardware mounting locations are recessed to improve airflow across the splitter surface while providing a clean, factory-like appearance and fit.
The splitter blade is manufactured from Carbon Polyweave, an advanced lightweight and durable material used throughout high-level motorsports, including IndyCar, NASCAR, and Formula 1. Unlike traditional carbon fiber and ABS splitter materials, Carbon Polyweave is designed to resist cracking and breaking when subjected to impacts and abrasion. Unlike aluminum splitters, it is less likely to grab surfaces and bend underneath the vehicle. The material combines low weight, stiffness, durability, abrasion resistance, and a premium appearance, making it well suited for demanding track and HPDE applications.
An integrated air dam is included to close the gap between the splitter and the vehicle's underbody. Manufactured from 5052 aluminum sheet metal, the air dam follows the contours of the factory front bumper and helps improve the overall aerodynamic efficiency of the splitter assembly. The air dam is powder-coated black for increased durability and a clean appearance.
The entire system was developed through an iterative aerodynamic design process using advanced analysis software. Verus Engineering carefully sized the front splitter and aerodynamic components to work with the rear wing and diffuser, helping create a predictable and balanced aerodynamic package. This balanced approach is particularly important when driving the GT350 at the limit, where excessive aerodynamic imbalance can make a vehicle more difficult to control.
The Verus Engineering Front Splitter is designed to deliver meaningful aerodynamic gains without sacrificing reasonable street usability. The package maintains a practical amount of front splitter extension and rear wing width, making it suitable for enthusiasts who use their Mustang Shelby GT350 for both street driving and track or HPDE events.

Aerodynamic Engineering
Verus Engineering developed this front splitter using advanced aerodynamic analysis and an iterative design process to maximize performance while maintaining predictable vehicle behavior. The splitter and air dam were designed to work as a complete aerodynamic system rather than as isolated components.
The front splitter is part of the Verus Engineering Ventus 3 Aerodynamics Package for the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350. The Ventus 3 package is engineered to substantially increase aerodynamic downforce over the factory vehicle while maintaining a safe and balanced aerodynamic profile for track and HPDE enthusiasts.
The splitter was properly sized to work alongside the rear wing and diffuser, helping counteract aerodynamic loads at the rear of the vehicle and maintain a more balanced front-to-rear downforce distribution. This allows the vehicle to remain more predictable and easier to drive near the limit.
Installation
The Verus Engineering Front Splitter Kit is designed for a straightforward installation and includes the required mounting hardware. Verus Engineering provides detailed installation documentation and installation videos for its products to assist with the installation process.
The quick-release mounting design also makes the splitter easier to remove when necessary, providing additional convenience for vehicles that transition between street and track use.
Why Choose the Verus Engineering Front Splitter?
The Verus Engineering Front Splitter Kit provides the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 and GT350R with a purpose-built aerodynamic upgrade designed around real-world track performance. Its Carbon Polyweave construction offers a combination of strength, stiffness, low weight, and impact resistance, while the integrated aluminum air dam improves airflow management underneath the front of the vehicle.
Rather than simply adding front-end styling, Verus Engineering designed this splitter as part of a complete aerodynamic system, allowing it to work with the rear wing and diffuser to create a more balanced and effective high-downforce setup.
