Description
The Verus Engineering Front Splitter for the Toyota GR86 is a track-focused aerodynamic upgrade designed to increase front-end downforce, reduce front-end lift, and improve high-speed traction and overall vehicle balance. Developed using OEM CAD data and advanced aerodynamic analysis, this front splitter provides a near-OEM fit and finish while delivering meaningful aerodynamic performance in a straightforward bolt-on package.
The splitter is constructed from a hard, durable, and stiff plastic material designed to withstand the demands of street and track driving. Unlike aluminum splitters, which can bend downward and pull under the vehicle when impacted from below, the Verus Engineering splitter is designed to resist cracking and maintain its shape when contacting the ground or encountering impacts from underneath the vehicle.

Aerodynamic Design
The Verus Engineering Front Splitter was developed to combat front-end lift and provide additional front-end downforce at speed. By increasing aerodynamic pressure on the front of the vehicle, the splitter helps improve front-end grip and vehicle stability during high-speed driving and cornering.
Advanced aerodynamic analysis software was used during the research and development process to estimate splitter performance and ensure that the aerodynamic characteristics work effectively with various Ventus packages. The splitter is designed as part of a balanced aerodynamic system rather than as an isolated component.
The front splitter is an important component of the Verus Engineering Ventus 2 aerodynamic package for the Toyota GR86. The Ventus 2 package was developed to improve aerodynamic performance over the factory vehicle while maintaining a safe and balanced aerodynamic setup. The components are engineered to work together to provide effective aerodynamic balance for enthusiasts who regularly participate in track days.
The splitter can also be used to add front-end grip and help balance the vehicle when paired with various rear aerodynamic devices.
Construction
The splitter blade is manufactured from a hard, durable, stiff plastic designed specifically for demanding automotive applications. This construction provides rigidity while offering an advantage over aluminum splitter designs when the underside of the splitter encounters an impact.
Unlike aluminum units that can bend downward and potentially pull underneath the vehicle after contacting an obstacle, the Verus Engineering splitter is designed to resist cracking and maintain its structural integrity when impacted from below.
Stainless steel hardware is used throughout the assembly for durability and reliable installation.
