OVERVIEW
The 8th generation (C8) of the Chevrolet Corvette is an engineering marvel, punching well above its weight at tracks across the world and redefining what is possible in the sports car category. However, the Corvette engineers left some room for aerodynamic enhancement to lower lap times and increase driver confidence.
The UCW Rear Wing is a great addition to your Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible(C8) to increase downforce significantly in the rear, increase confidence on track, and reduce lap times. Designed to work on the factory trunk, the rear wing bolts on easily and improves the performance that this sports car can utilize on track. The UCW Wing is developed to create a low-pressure zone on the bottom side of the wing to pull the car downward, dramatically increasing downforce with a small penalty in drag.
Utilizing state-of-the-art analysis software and wind tunnel testing during the R&D process, we optimized the airfoil for performance for the given build volume, which is derived from the V1X. Further utilizing CFD, we ensured the rear wing sees adequate airflow while installed on the car and performs well.
During the design process, we utilized in-house scan data. This results in a product that features a near OEM fit and finish. Even the uprights have been designed to mount in an area already disturbed by airflow, minimizing the drawbacks of installing functional aerodynamic parts. We engineered the wing to blend into the vehicle's profile while being capable of balancing out significant front aerodynamic systems like our Front Splitter Kit!
The UCW Rear Wing is the perfect addition to the track goer who requires a large bump in rear downforce to balance out a significant front aero package.
UCW Wings are assembled per order and will ship within 5 business days from receipt of order unless otherwise specified.

Science:
The Verus Engineering UCW Rear Wing was specifically designed for the Corvette Stingray enthusiast who wants more rear-end downforce. The wing has 15 degrees of adjustment to enable fine tuning to match your performance needs. This allows the wing to balance out a variety of front aerodynamic kits. As part of our Ventus 2 aerodynamic kit (Bottom Mount Variant), the rear wing, and aero kit add a significant amount of downforce to the car to help reduce lap times and increase corner speed.
Our CFD data and our real-world experimental data match up quite well. The wing hit all the major goals we set forth to achieve first in our CFD simulations and then with our real-world testing. The strong correlation between CFD data and real-world testing validates both our CFD analysis approach and the wing’s performance.
