What about Five Axis body kit? I heard that Five Axis will make one inspired by FR-S concept.

You're right. most factory spoilers are produced to achieve less drag and higher MPG, but there are some exceptional.

I highly doubt it too when a company make a sportier version with wing, but it doesn't give a functional wing.
ALMS Ferraris have wings because they corner at extremely high speeds. They actually produce downforce. Less top speed, more grip in corners. Those wings are adjustable and balanced out with front splitters. When you're using aero to affect grip, you need to balance it front and rear. You bolt a wing to the back of a car and set it to 45 degrees, the car is just going to push all day long.



Note the front splitter, canards, and hood vents (which actually also help produce downforce by directing air from bumper vent up).

You got me there.
Race version really uses the wing and other stuff to make more grip in the corner.

say what you want about big wings but the back of this car needs something...it looks way to plain without some sort of spoiler back there...a duckbill might look nice but haven't see it yet. I like the big wing, kind of looks like a baby Supra. I just don't know if I'd buy one with it...

The black center piece makes it so reminiscent of the TRD Wing for MKIV Supras

Wasn't there a report saying that Toyota already has a high performance model and is currently testing it? perhaps with a supercharger already? What if what we're seeing here is that specific model? a special high performance variant with wing, supercharger and a better suspension??

Is that a viable option?
