Then again a standard audi TT or A7 doesn't either and they can get away with it...  |
I'm sure the active aero built by someone in their garage is the same as those designed and tested by aerodynamic engineers in wind tunnels.
The TT and A7 both have an unusual design that produces higher than average lift at the rear. Read up on the MK1 TT and the accidents. Audi wants to prevent that from happening again, and maybe they don't want spoilers hanging off the rear of their cars with "only" 200hp. Leave them to performance cars like the TT RS or the R8 GT.
I think this justifies why Audi actually went through the trouble of designing the aero system on those two cars, instead of just sticking a piece of plastic on the rear and calling it a day.
