Stay Grounded at Airplane Speeds

With SEMA right around the corner, APR Performance is one of the companies we can’t wait to see. Since 2002 they have been debut ground breaking aero parts for the most popular makes and models at SEMA. Although we love the aesthetic enhancements APR adds, we admire that APR’s primary focus,  is how their parts are going to help the car aerodynamically. APR Performance, not only adds performance value to your car, they give you a great look too. This is their newest part for the Nissan GT-R. Their Front Air Dam allows your GT-R to stay grounded, at airplane speeds. Here’s what they had to say about their new front Air Dam,

“Underbody components such as front air dams, under-trays, and rear diffusers are essential for maximizing aerodynamic performance. This Front Air Dam includes two integrated brake cooling ducts (2.5″ inner diameter). These cooling ducts can be used to attach cooling hoses (not included) that lead to the brake system for maximum braking consistency on the track. This Front Air Dam also utilizes a built-in aerodynamic splitter design that creates a high-pressure region of air atop the protruding surface, further reducing lift and increasing net downforce.”

The APR Performance Front Air Dam integrates with the factory front bumper to:

- Reduce lift
- Increase front-end stability
- Improve high-speed cornering grip

New GT-250 Adjustable Wing from APR Performance

No matter what racing you do, you know that anything that can give you even the slightest edge on the competition can make all the difference. APR is an aero company we have worked with for a while. When they say their items will shave seconds of your track time, we’ve personally seen the difference. Not to mention, customer’s of ours have told us about the improvements their APR products have given them. Not long ago, we had a customer use APR on his Lotus. You can read the story here but, the aero products shaved seconds off his time. That’s the difference between a loss and a win. Here’s what APR had to say about their new GT-250 Adjustable Wing.

APR Performance Adjustable Wings can give you that edge to achieve faster lap times. By reducing lift and increasing downforce, you can gain extra traction during high speed cornering. Although adjustable wings aren’t specifically a suspension component, they play a crucial role to the handling characteristics of a car. By adjusting the angle of attack on an adjustable wing, you can dial in the amount of downforce for better car control. This allows your car to have more or less over steer characteristics, giving you additional control to tune the rear traction of your car.”

Not only will your car look like an attack vehicle, it will perform like a trained assassin. Here are some scientific images that show how exactly the wing adjusts and helps with the function on the car.
