Description
The Verus Engineering High-Efficiency Rear Wing was developed from a clean-sheet approach specifically for the Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, and Toyota GT86 (ZN6/ZC6) chassis. Using a proprietary airfoil profile developed with the ANSYS Adjoint Solver, Verus Engineering created a highly efficient rear wing capable of producing significant downforce while minimizing drag.
The swan neck mounting design positions the wing in clean, undisturbed airflow, improving aerodynamic efficiency compared with conventional bottom-mounted rear wings. This allows the wing to generate meaningful rear downforce without creating an excessive drag penalty.
The low-drag characteristics make the High-Efficiency Rear Wing particularly well suited to the relatively limited horsepower of the naturally aspirated FA20 engine. By increasing rear-end grip and cornering confidence without substantially compromising straight-line speed, the wing is designed to help track-focused drivers increase corner speeds while maintaining strong overall vehicle efficiency.
The wing is also properly sized to complement most off-the-shelf front aerodynamic solutions, helping create a more balanced aerodynamic package for track-day and street-driven vehicles.

Aerodynamic Science
The Verus Engineering High-Efficiency Rear Wing was developed for FT86 enthusiasts who want additional rear-end downforce for track driving without substantially compromising straight-line speed or vehicle efficiency.
The wing's swan neck mounting system was selected to keep the airfoil exposed to clean airflow. Unlike conventional bottom-mounted wings, the mounting structure does not obstruct as much of the airflow beneath the wing, helping maintain aerodynamic efficiency.
Verus Engineering optimized the wing profile using ANSYS CFD and the Adjoint Solver, allowing the airfoil to be developed specifically around the desired balance of downforce and drag. The wing uprights were also optimized using CFD and FEA to provide efficient airflow in both straight-line and yaw conditions while maintaining the structural strength required to handle the aerodynamic loads.
The trunk mounting locations were specifically selected around strong areas of the OEM trunk and reinforced with strengthening brackets. This helps distribute the aerodynamic load and reduce the risk of trunk damage.
Verus Engineering reports strong correlation between its CFD simulations and real-world testing. The wing achieved the primary aerodynamic targets established during development, validating both the computational design approach and the resulting performance.
