Description
Increase front-end aerodynamic performance on your Porsche 991.2 GT3 RS with the Verus Engineering Front Splitter Kit. Designed to generate substantial front downforce without a significant increase in drag, this complete splitter system improves front-end grip and helps create a more balanced aerodynamic setup for high-performance street and track applications.
A properly designed front splitter works by creating a significant pressure differential between its upper and lower surfaces, generating additional aerodynamic load at the front of the vehicle. Verus Engineering further optimized the splitter through incremental design changes to the underside, improving airflow interaction with the integrated carbon splitter diffusers.
The result is a complete front splitter system engineered specifically for the Porsche 991.2 GT3 RS, capable of generating a large increase in front-end downforce while complementing larger rear-wing configurations.
The splitter is manufactured from carbon thermoplastic, a durable material used in high-level motorsports. Unlike brittle carbon fiber and ABS components, carbon thermoplastic is designed to withstand abrasion and impacts without cracking or breaking easily. It also avoids the tendency of aluminum splitters to grab the ground and bend underneath the vehicle.
Verus Engineering developed the bracket system using vehicle scan data and precision CNC cutting and bending processes to ensure accurate, repeatable installation. The carbon splitter diffusers were developed and optimized through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to promote airflow and improve downforce generation.
The splitter was specifically designed to work with large rear wings, including the Verus Engineering V1X Rear Wing for the 991.2 GT3 RS, helping create a balanced aerodynamic package.

Why Carbon Thermoplastic?
The Verus Engineering carbon thermoplastic splitter material provides an effective combination of strength, low weight, durability, and appearance.
Unlike conventional carbon fiber or ABS splitters, the carbon thermoplastic material is not brittle and is less prone to cracking or breaking from contact and abrasion. Compared with aluminum splitter designs, it is less likely to grab the ground and bend underneath the vehicle.
This makes carbon thermoplastic particularly well suited to a front splitter that is exposed to the demanding conditions of track driving, curbing, and occasional ground contact.
Aerodynamic Science
When properly designed, a front splitter can significantly increase front-end aerodynamic grip by generating a pressure differential between the upper and lower surfaces. Verus Engineering used advanced aerodynamic analysis and an iterative design process to extract additional performance from the complete front splitter, air dam, and diffuser combination.
The underside of the splitter was incrementally refined to improve airflow into and through the carbon splitter diffusers. CFD analysis was used to develop the diffuser geometry and promote more effective airflow, contributing to increased front-end downforce.
Verus Engineering also sized the front splitter and dive-plane system to work with the rear aerodynamic package. This allows the increased front downforce to properly counterbalance the additional rear load generated by large rear wings and the factory diffuser, creating a safer and more effective aerodynamic balance.
Ventus 2 & Ventus 3 Aerodynamic Package
The Front Splitter Kit is part of the Verus Engineering Ventus 2 and Ventus 3 aerodynamic packages for the Porsche 991.2 GT3 RS.
These aerodynamic packages are designed to significantly increase downforce compared with the factory vehicle while maintaining a balanced setup suitable for track and HPDE enthusiasts.
Verus Engineering's development goal was to dramatically improve the aerodynamic performance of the factory Porsche 991.2 GT3 RS while maintaining predictable and balanced handling characteristics.
Street usability was also considered during development. The aerodynamic package was designed with reasonable front splitter stick-out and rear wing widths, helping retain a practical level of street drivability while delivering substantial improvements in track performance.
Installation
The Verus Engineering Front Splitter Kit includes a complete bracket, support, diffuser, and hardware system for installation on the Porsche 991.2 GT3 RS.
The mounting brackets are developed from vehicle scan data and are CNC cut and bent for repeatable fitment. The included support rods, cross beam, clevises, and stainless hardware provide the structural support required for the splitter's 300+ lb load capability.
