You need track-tested components that boost performance in a balanced, efficient manner while matching the unique design language of this American-made, mid-engine masterpiece. Verus Engineering has your solution.
Whether you’re a competitive racer, a weekend track rat, or a street driver, Verus has a package that’s perfect for your application. Keep reading to learn more about our C8 aerodynamics.
All C8 Kits Come With Your Choice of Diffuser
Verus Engineering's C8 Stingray carbon rear diffuser fits the exotic design language of this American supercar.
Our C8 aero kits are packed with performance and quite a bit of variation to boot. In each of our kits, you can choose between two incredible diffusers: a carbon diffuser or an aluminum diffuser with rear spats. Here’s more information about each to help with your decision.
Carbon diffuser: Our stunning C8 carbon diffuser matches the Corvette’s exotic design language and gives you a higher peak downforce than the aluminum variant. It’s produced from 2x2 twill and autoclave-cured carbon fiber, and bolts easily to the chassis.
Verus Engineering's C8 Stingray aluminum rear diffuser adds stability for both street and track cars.
- Aluminum diffuser with rear spats: Durable, effective, and at a lower price point than the carbon unit, our aluminum diffuser is exceptional at providing stability for both street and track cars.
Why do we include diffusers with every package? This modification is an ideal starting point for aerodynamic tuning due to its efficiency. When designed correctly, diffusers improve performance by creating low pressure under the car while reducing the wake region behind it. The end result is more downforce and less drag.
Corvette C8 Ventus 1 Package
Verus Engineering's Ventus 1 package for the Corvette C8 Stingray
The journey to improved C8 performance starts here. These front and rear mods keep the car balanced while boosting downforce and confidence. Here’s what this package includes:
Dive planes: Our C8 dive planes create beneficial vortices that help evacuate the fenders to reduce lift. Downforce is achieved primarily through optimized airflow, although a slight boost is realized on the units themselves.
Featuring C8 Stingray dive planes and your choice of diffuser, the Ventus 1 package is the perfect place to start your modifications.
- Carbon diffuser or aluminum diffuser with rear spats: Get the rear downforce you need with your choice of diffuser from the options above.
Verus Engineering's rear diffuser is an essential piece of your aero package.
Corvette C8 Ventus 2 Package
Verus Engineering C8 Ventus 2 package with rear wing, carbon ducktail spoiler, side splitters, diffuser, front splitter, and dive planes.
Our Ventus 2 kit is a big step up in performance, including the first of three wing options, a front splitter, a carbon ducktail, and side splitters. In addition to your choice of diffuser, you also get to pick from a bottom-mount or swan-neck UCW rear wing. Here’s more about the C8 mods included in this package:
Verus Engineering's Ventus 3 package adds a front splitter to balance the UCW wing.
Splitter with carbon or aluminum air dam: Our CFD-optimized C8 splitter delivers exceptional efficiency and generates downforce by creating a low-pressure zone beneath it and a high-pressure zone above it. Optional endplates push the aero balance further forward and allow for more aggressive wing angles or a shift to the WCW or V1X wing.
Verus Engineering's Ventus 2 package includes a C8 Stingray splitter with either a carbon (right) or sheet metal air dam.
UCW bottom mount rear wing or UCW swan neck rear wing: The perfect partner to the front splitter, our UCW wings deliver a significant boost in rear downforce. The low-pressure zone created on the underside of the wing does most of the work, although added downforce is created due to high pressure on top. Our swan neck UCW wing delivers slightly more downforce and efficiency than the bottom-mounted wing. Both are exceptional options and flow with the C8’s design language.
The Ventus 2 package allows you to choose between the Corvette C8 UCW swan-neck wing (pictured) or the UCW bottom-mount wing.
Carbon ducktail: Covering the holes left by OEM wings, our carbon ducktail spoiler serves a bigger purpose by boosting the downforce generated by our rear wings by over 10% with little drag penalty. Installation is simple and secure with 3M VHB heavy-duty mounting tape.
Side splitters: Prevent high-pressure air along the sides from bleeding into the low-pressure zone beneath your car. We designed our C8 side splitters in CFD to clean up underbody airflow, specifically during turns or in high-yaw conditions.
Verus Engineering's side splitters will help prevent high-pressure air from bleeding into the low-pressure zone under the car.
This package also includes the following components from our Ventus 1 kit:
Dive planes
Carbon diffuser or aluminum diffuser with rear spats
Corvette C8 Ventus 3 Package
Verus Engineering's Ventus 3 package featuring the WCW wing
Moving up to the Ventus 3 package introduces our slightly wider – and more efficient – WCW wing. Here’s what the Ventus 3 kit includes:
WCW rear wing: Our C8 WCW wing uses the same chord and curvature as the UCW, but we increased the span by 11.6%. Comparing the UCW and WCW wings at a 12-degree angle of attack, we found the WCW increased downforce by 8.3% with no increase in drag. It also shifted the aero balance rearward by 12.3%.
Verus's Ventus 3 package features the WCW wing, which is wider and more efficient than the UCW.
You’ll appreciate the added efficiency, and may find the slightly longer wing a better aesthetic fit for a wider car like the C8. Like the UCW, the WCW wing is constructed of carbon fiber and bolts on easily to the factory trunk.
This package also includes the following components from our Ventus 2 kit:
Splitter with carbon or aluminum air dam
Carbon ducktail
Side splitters
Dive planes
Carbon diffuser or aluminum diffuser with rear spats
Corvette C8 Ventus 4 Package
Corvette C8 Ventus 4 package featuring the V1X wing and high-downforce splitter
Our top-tier Ventus 4 package delivers the ultimate in C8 performance with our V1X wing and high-downforce splitter with endplates. Here’s what this kit includes:
V1X wing: A wing width of 1850 mm and chord depth of 300 mm gives you the most downforce of any Verus wing. Exceptionally efficient, the C8 Stingray VIX generates more downforce and less drag at a 1.9-degree angle of attack than the UCW wing does at a 12-degree angle. The swan-neck design allows more clean air to reach the bottom surface of the wing, resulting in added downforce. Endplate slots reduce vortex energy behind the car, reducing pressure drag.
Verus's top-tier Ventus 4 package features the V1X wing (pictured) and the high-downforce splitter.
HD splitter with carbon or aluminum air dam: A perfect partner to the V1X wing, our high-downforce splitter generates 8.6% more downforce than the standard wing with only a 2.9% increase in drag. It’s made of carbon polyweave, a durable material used at the highest levels of motorsports, and features a three-piece carbon fiber air dam and carbon nylon diffuser tunnels.
Verus Engineering's high-downforce front splitter with endplates is the perfect partner to the V1X rear wing.
HD splitter endplates: These 3D-printed endplates reduce drag and optimize downforce. You’ll appreciate the added stability and aggressive styling that finishes the look of your C8.
You’ll also get the following components from our Ventus 2 and 3 packages:
Carbon ducktail
Side splitters
Dive planes
Carbon diffuser or aluminum diffuser with rear spats
