Description
The Verus Engineering Swan Neck UCW Rear Wing is designed for Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 owners who need a significant increase in rear downforce for aggressive track driving. Based on the proven UCW silhouette, the Swan Neck configuration improves aerodynamic efficiency compared with traditional bottom-mount wing designs while providing the rear-end stability needed to support higher cornering speeds and reduce lap times.
Developed specifically around the GR86 and BRZ platform, the wing was optimized using advanced aerodynamic analysis software and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The airfoil was refined within the available design volume using technology derived from the V1X program, while CFD analysis was used to ensure the wing receives clean airflow when installed on the vehicle.
Verus Engineering also utilized in-house vehicle scan data during development. This allowed the mounting system and wing profile to closely follow the factory bodywork, providing a near-OEM fit and finish while complementing the natural lines of the BRZ and GR86.
The Swan Neck UCW Rear Wing is particularly well suited to track-focused builds running significant front aerodynamic components. It can help balance the additional front downforce produced by systems such as the Verus Engineering Front Splitter Kit, creating a more balanced aerodynamic package.
The UCW Rear Wing is assembled to order and typically ships within 5 business days of receiving the order unless otherwise specified.

Aerodynamic Development
The Verus Engineering UCW Rear Wing was developed for BRZ and GR86 enthusiasts looking for a substantial increase in rear aerodynamic performance. The wing's adjustable angle of attack allows it to work with a variety of front aerodynamic configurations, helping provide the aerodynamic balance required for different track setups.
The wing was developed using advanced CFD analysis, followed by real-world experimental testing. The correlation between the CFD results and physical testing helped validate the aerodynamic development process and confirm that the wing met the performance targets established during development.
When combined with a properly matched front aerodynamic system, the UCW Rear Wing can provide a significant increase in overall downforce, helping improve cornering performance and potentially reduce lap times.
