This story is very interesting, but possibly aside from this specific one, nothing like this has ever occurred due to brake ducts or side vents. |

Pretty certain this is a feature sparked by the Fast and the Furious movies. Those electrical things they shoot into Brian's door to short circuit the car is really tough to deal with- these vents are meant to aid in their removal by ducting air under them to force them out when moving at high speed.

I'm going to guess that they're for reducing drag and front-end lift. @ZDan might be able to shed some light on the effects of those vents.

The ones in the front bumper are to create an air curtain of sort to keep air moving over the car from interacting with the rotating tire. Same as those little flaps that hang down in front of the wheel. Most new cars these days have these features to improve gas mileage.

Looking at how Porsche visualizes it, the intention doesn't seem to have much of anything to do with the brakes. Or at least they aren't talking about that. Interestingly, it sounds like if you have the auto-release charger doors, the vent behind the front* wheel is blocked, possibly contributing to that model's .25 CD vs if you have the manual release charge door the vents are open and you have a .22 CD - I think. I'm not an expert here. That is just what I summize from the info I found. There could be other factors. On the Taycan forums, at least one person is complaining about stuff getting kicked up by the tire so they want to block those rear vents. Last edited by mazeroni; 04-20-2021 at 12:34 PM. |

Couldn't say for sure but it could be that *some* of that airflow finds its way to the brakes and/or more normalized and less turbulent airflow in the region could encourage more consistent flow through the wheels to which could give more brake cooling as a secondary effect. Track peeps who find they need more brake cooling might still want to duct the front vent outlets to the brakes... |
