Description
The Verus Engineering Carbon Fiber Side Splitter Kit for the Porsche 981 GT4 combines functional aerodynamic performance with an aggressive, motorsport-inspired appearance. Designed to complement the factory bodywork, these side splitters help control airflow along the sides of the vehicle and reduce aerodynamic lift.
Verus Engineering developed the side splitters using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to ensure they provide 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.
The side splitters are constructed from 2x2 twill pre-preg carbon fiber, providing excellent strength-to-weight performance while delivering a premium carbon fiber appearance. During development, Verus Engineering utilized detailed in-house vehicle scan data to achieve a near-OEM fit and finish.
The result is a side splitter solution designed for 981 Porsche GT4 owners looking for both aerodynamic function and visual enhancement.

Aerodynamic Science
The Verus Engineering Side Splitters are designed to improve aerodynamic performance by helping reduce the amount of high-pressure air spilling underneath the vehicle.
At speed, high-pressure air from the upper surfaces of the vehicle can migrate underneath the car, contributing to aerodynamic lift. The side splitters help seal the lower sides of the vehicle and control this airflow, reducing lift and improving overall aerodynamic efficiency.
The side splitters form part of a larger aerodynamic system rather than functioning as an isolated component. Their contribution becomes particularly important when combined with other properly designed aerodynamic components.
Ventus 2+ Aerodynamic Package
The Verus Engineering Side Splitter Kit for the Porsche 981 GT4 is part of the Ventus 2+ aerodynamic package.
The goal of the Ventus 2 package is to dramatically increase vehicle downforce in an efficient manner. Verus Engineering placed aerodynamic balance at the forefront of the development process to create a system capable of improving performance and helping reduce lap times while maintaining a safe aerodynamic balance.
The side splitters contribute to this package by reducing airflow spillage underneath the vehicle and improving overall aerodynamic efficiency.
All components within the Ventus 2+ package were designed to work together as a system, allowing the Porsche 981 GT4 to benefit from a more cohesive and balanced aerodynamic setup.
Installation
The Verus Engineering Carbon Fiber Side Splitters are designed for a simple bolt-on installation into the factory plastic side skirt.
The supplied mounting hardware includes the necessary components for installation, with the side splitters secured using plastic screws or rivet nuts. Their scan-based design allows them to follow the factory bodywork closely for a clean and integrated appearance.
