Description
The Verus Engineering High-Efficiency Rear Wing Kit is designed specifically for the Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86, delivering a significant increase in rear downforce while maintaining excellent aerodynamic efficiency. Developed for both track-focused drivers and street enthusiasts, this rear wing helps improve high-speed stability, increase cornering confidence, and reduce lap times without creating a substantial penalty in straight-line speed or fuel economy.
Verus Engineering took a clean-sheet approach to the development of this rear wing, creating a proprietary airfoil profile using the ANSYS Adjoint Solver. This approach allowed the engineering team to develop an aerodynamic package capable of producing significant downforce while maintaining a high lift-to-drag ratio.
The swan neck mounting design helps feed the wing clean, undisturbed airflow, improving aerodynamic efficiency compared with conventional bottom-mounted rear wing configurations. This is particularly beneficial for the ZN8/ZD8 chassis, where the limited horsepower of the stock vehicle makes minimizing aerodynamic drag important for maintaining straight-line performance.
The low drag generated by the High-Efficiency Rear Wing allows drivers to increase cornering speeds and rear-end stability without taking a significant hit to straight-line top speed or street fuel economy.
Designed to work with the factory trunk and withstand the aerodynamic loads generated by the wing, the kit provides a straightforward installation while maintaining a clean appearance that complements the factory body lines of the BRZ and GR86.
The High-Efficiency Rear Wing is an excellent choice for track drivers who require additional rear downforce to balance a properly sized front aerodynamic package, such as the Verus Engineering Front Splitter Kit.
High-Efficiency Wings are assembled per order and will ship within 5 business days from receipt of order unless otherwise specified.

Aerodynamic Development
The Verus Engineering High-Efficiency Rear Wing was specifically developed for Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 enthusiasts looking for additional rear-end downforce without the excessive aerodynamic drag associated with larger, less efficient wing designs.
The wing is capable of generating downforce across a 0–12-degree angle of attack range, allowing the aerodynamic load to be adjusted to suit different vehicle setups and front aero configurations.
As part of the Verus Engineering Ventus 2 aerodynamic kit, the High-Efficiency Rear Wing can be combined with the associated front aerodynamic components to generate significant downforce, helping improve cornering speeds and reduce lap times.
Verus Engineering validated the wing through both CFD analysis and real-world experimental testing. The strong correlation between the CFD results and physical testing confirmed the aerodynamic development approach and helped validate the wing's performance against the design targets.
