Description
The Verus Engineering Carbon Fiber Side Splitter Kit for the Porsche 987 Cayman combines functional aerodynamic performance with a clean, motorsport-inspired appearance. Designed to complement the vehicle's bodywork, these side splitters help reduce aerodynamic lift by controlling high-pressure air around the lower sides of the vehicle.
Verus Engineering developed the side splitters using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to ensure the design provides functional aerodynamic benefits on the track. The splitters help prevent high-pressure air from spilling underneath the vehicle, reducing lift and improving overall aerodynamic efficiency.
Constructed from 2x2 twill pre-preg carbon fiber, the side splitters provide an excellent strength-to-weight ratio while delivering a premium performance-oriented appearance. The components were developed using in-house vehicle scan data to achieve a near-OEM fit and finish.
The Verus Engineering Side Splitter Kit is an ideal upgrade for Porsche 987 Cayman owners looking for a combination of aerodynamic function, lightweight construction, and aggressive styling.

Aerodynamic Science
The Verus Engineering Side Splitters are designed to reduce high-pressure air spillage from the upper surface of the vehicle to the underside. At speed, uncontrolled high-pressure airflow moving underneath the vehicle can contribute to aerodynamic lift.
By helping seal the lower sides of the vehicle, the side splitters reduce this airflow spillage and improve the vehicle's overall aerodynamic efficiency. The result is reduced lift and improved aerodynamic stability.
The side splitters can become particularly important when the vehicle is cornering or experiencing yaw, as airflow around the sides of the vehicle changes significantly compared with straight-line driving.
Verus Engineering designed its aerodynamic components as a system, with the side splitters working alongside other aerodynamic components to help create a more balanced and efficient overall package.
Ventus 2+ Aerodynamic Package
The Verus Engineering Side Splitter Kit forms part of the Ventus 2+ aerodynamic package concept, which focuses on significantly increasing downforce through an efficient and balanced aerodynamic system.
The primary objective of the Ventus 2+ package is to improve aerodynamic performance while maintaining a safe aerodynamic balance. The components are designed to work together as a system rather than functioning as isolated aerodynamic upgrades.
For the Porsche Cayman platform, the side splitters contribute to the overall aerodynamic package by reducing pressure spillage around the sides of the vehicle and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the vehicle's underbody airflow management.
Installation
The Verus Engineering Carbon Fiber Side Splitters use a simple bolt-on installation. The kit includes left- and right-hand splitters along with the required stainless hardware.
The scan-based design allows the components to follow the vehicle's existing body contours closely, providing a clean and integrated appearance once installed.
