Take a look at the Alpina B6. This car has a speed limit of 315 km/h and therefore its rear-wing is mandatory to keep the car under control at this high speeds. And this wing was constructed under extensive high speed tests. |
Agreed.
I was gonna say that the wing was purposefull thing on the Porsche made for the Porsche.
You beat me to it.
However the 996 GT3 is neutral at rear, while the 996 GT3 RS is downforce not uplift. So my guess is that the wing is there for downforce, not uplift.
On the bimmer uplift wouldn't be good, but neither downforce on those unsuited Continental tyres.
Cheers.
