Description
The Verus Engineering Ventus 2 Package is a comprehensive aerodynamic upgrade designed specifically for the Porsche 718 GT4, delivering a substantial increase in downforce with only a small drag penalty compared with the Ventus 1 package. The system also improves overall aerodynamic efficiency, measured by lift-to-drag ratio (L/D), compared with both the factory configuration and Ventus 1.
Designed as a next-level performance package, Ventus 2 provides a carefully balanced aerodynamic setup that increases front and rear downforce while maintaining predictable vehicle behavior and driver confidence on track.
At the heart of the package is the UCW Rear Wing, which replaces the factory rear wing and significantly increases rear downforce. The UCW is positioned between Verus Engineering's swan-neck high-efficiency rear wing and larger 300mm V1X airfoil, providing a substantial aerodynamic upgrade while remaining appropriately sized for the Porsche 718 GT4.
To balance the additional rear downforce, Verus Engineering pairs the UCW Rear Wing with a Carbon Polyweave Front Splitter and Dual Element Dive Planes. This combination increases front-end grip and helps establish a safe and effective aerodynamic balance with the UCW Rear Wing and Rear Diffuser Panel Kit.
Every component in the Ventus 2 package was developed using in-house scan data, CAD, and CFD analysis, resulting in an OEM-like fit and finish while ensuring the components work together as a complete aerodynamic system.

Science & Aerodynamic Performance
The Verus Engineering Ventus 2 Package was developed for the Porsche 718 GT4 enthusiast seeking a significant step up in aerodynamic performance while maintaining a balanced and predictable vehicle.
The package builds upon the Ventus 1 system by adding a larger aerodynamic attack at both ends of the vehicle. The UCW Rear Wing generates substantially more rear downforce, while the Carbon Polyweave Front Splitter and Dual Element Dive Planes provide the additional front-end aerodynamic load required to maintain balance.
The rear diffuser panel works with the other components to further optimize airflow beneath the vehicle and contribute to the overall aerodynamic system.
This carefully matched combination provides increased downforce at both ends of the vehicle, improving cornering capability, driver confidence, and potential lap times while maintaining an effective lift-to-drag ratio.
Verus Engineering used CFD analysis and real-world testing throughout the development process. The strong correlation between the CFD results and physical testing validated the aerodynamic approach and confirmed that the Ventus 2 Package achieved its primary performance objectives.
