APR Performance GTC-500 Carbon Fiber 71" Spec Wing 2002-2007 WRX / 2002-2007 STI | 70" Carbon Fiber Airfoil | Adjustable Aero Wing
Overview
The APR Performance GTC-500 Carbon Fiber 71" Spec Wing is a high-performance aerodynamic component designed specifically for the 2002-2007 Subaru WRX and WRX STI models. This wing spans an impressive 70 inches, making it the largest wing in APR's lineup. It delivers substantial downforce optimized for high-speed touring and track applications, enhancing rear-end stability without compromising drag. Subaru enthusiasts looking to improve handling at speed will appreciate the balance this wing offers between aerodynamic efficiency and aggressive styling.
Engineered with precision, the GTC-500 features a 3D airfoil shape developed through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis to achieve an optimal balance of downforce and drag reduction. The wing’s airfoil is crafted from carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) using pre-pregnated woven carbon fiber sheets, ensuring superior strength and minimal weight. The manufacturing process involves high-temperature autoclave curing and vacuum bagging in billet aluminum molds, reflecting APR’s commitment to quality and durability. Supporting the wing are 10mm aircraft-grade 6061 billet aluminum pedestals finished in flat black powder coat for a robust and refined mounting solution.
For Subaru WRX and STI owners, this wing not only enhances the vehicle’s aerodynamic performance but also elevates its visual presence with a genuine carbon fiber finish. The adjustability of the wing allows fine-tuning of downforce to suit different driving conditions, making it a versatile upgrade for spirited street driving or track days. This combination of advanced materials, engineering, and Subaru-specific fitment makes the GTC-500 a standout choice for enthusiasts seeking both form and function.
