Description
The Verus Engineering V1X Rear Wing Kit with Carbon Spoiler for the 987 Porsche Cayman is a high-performance aerodynamic system designed to dramatically increase rear-end grip and downforce at speed. The system combines a 300mm chord swan neck rear wing with a dedicated carbon ducktail spoiler that mounts directly to the OEM trunk and transfers aerodynamic loads through multiple mounting points into the vehicle chassis.
The V1X rear wing and the complete Verus Engineering aerodynamic package were developed using advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis to improve aerodynamic performance around the track. The wing is specifically designed for Porsche enthusiasts seeking substantial additional rear downforce for track-day and performance applications.
The rear wing uses construction techniques associated with high-level motorsport and is manufactured by a dedicated motorsport wing provider in the USA. The result is a lightweight, high-strength aerodynamic assembly designed to withstand significant aerodynamic loading.
The CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum uprights and mounts were FEA analyzed to optimize strength while minimizing weight. The carbon ducktail spoiler mounts to the OEM trunk using multiple bolts, distributing the wing loads through multiple mounting points into the chassis.
Assembly Note: V1X wings are assembled per order and typically ship within 5 business days from receipt of order, unless otherwise specified.

Aerodynamic Science
The Verus Engineering 300mm Rear Wing was developed specifically for Porsche enthusiasts looking for increased rear-end downforce during track driving.
The wing airfoil was analyzed using the ANSYS Adjoint Solver, allowing Verus Engineering to iteratively refine the airfoil profile and improve aerodynamic efficiency. This development process focused on achieving substantial rear downforce while maintaining a strong lift-to-drag ratio.
The wing placement was also developed to work effectively with the other components of the Verus Engineering Ventus 2 aerodynamic package. Rather than simply maximizing rear downforce, the system was designed to contribute to an effective overall aerodynamic balance.
The carbon ducktail spoiler provides the mounting foundation for the V1X wing while transferring aerodynamic loads through multiple attachment points into the chassis.
CFD & Real-World Validation
Verus Engineering compared its CFD development data with real-world experimental testing of the rear wing.
The CFD results and physical testing demonstrated strong correlation, with the final wing meeting the primary aerodynamic performance goals established during the development process.
This agreement between computational analysis and real-world testing helped validate both the CFD methodology and the aerodynamic performance of the V1X rear wing.
Ventus 2 Aerodynamic Package
The V1X Rear Wing is designed as part of the Verus Engineering Ventus 2 aerodynamic package.
The Ventus 2 package is engineered to generate a significant increase in aerodynamic downforce compared with the factory vehicle. The V1X rear wing provides substantial rear aerodynamic load while working with the rest of the package to maintain an effective aerodynamic balance.
Its 15-position adjustment range allows the rear downforce level to be tuned according to the vehicle setup, track conditions, and desired aerodynamic balance.
Installation
The Verus Engineering V1X Rear Wing Kit uses the included carbon ducktail spoiler, drill template, mounting hardware, and CNC-machined aluminum supports for installation.
The carbon spoiler mounts to the OEM trunk using multiple bolts, allowing aerodynamic loads to be distributed through multiple mounting points and transferred into the vehicle chassis.
A drill template is included to assist with accurate spoiler installation.
V1X wings are assembled per order and typically ship within 5 business days from receipt of order, unless otherwise specified.
