New Year = New Aero, the impossible to get GT4 wing

Because our beautiful AMG GT cars deserve to be spoiled during the holidays too.

Some eye candy pics below!

Score from Germany, AMG GT4 race car rear wing and adjustable mounts.
GTR is pretty simple and straight forward installation, however, this is going on a GTR PRO, and that’s not so simple. Have to order and have painted GTR wing mount base and base plate. So let that adventure begin.

Additionally, GTR should have some front aero added to keep balance post GT4 wing. GTR PRO does not need as much added, just the larger front lower canards should be all that is needed. This way it will keep the front end from feeling “light” “understeer-ish” if only adding rear wing at high track speeds and high speed cornering.
This will be important if tracking car, for the street use and mountain/canyon carvers only, probably not too concerning to balance front aero.

In future I may try to find local enough fabricator to make piece so GT4 wing can be mounted to GTR PRO base as I’ll have all the parts that need to be measured and such, this part does exist in Europe by a vendor, but unfortunately they won’t sell just that piece 😔


GT4 wing starts life and is mainly used on the race cars in the “raw” matte finish:


I want it to match the gloss exterior carbon on all the road cars, so professionally cleared at race shop in Germany prior to shipping:



Now in my possession along with the larger GTR PRO lower front bumper canards. This should be the “perfect package” to balance aero on the GTR PRO.
