OVERVIEW
The 8th generation (C8) of the Chevrolet Corvette is an engineering marvel, combining breathtaking capability with next-generation efficiency that transfers from street to track. However, the Corvette engineers left some room for aerodynamic enhancement to lower lap times and increase driver confidence. A set of Dive Planes, while small, can help control airflow around the vehicle and take your performance to the next level!
The Verus Engineering Dual Dive Plane Kit for the Corvette Stingray (C8) are specifically designed to increase front-end downforce while keeping drag increase to a minimum. The units work together to aid in extracting airflow from the wheel well, as well as produce downforce themselves, on the front of the car.
The dive planes produce a safe aero balance with or without the addition of our Carbon Rear Diffuser. These units were designed in CAD using in-house scan data and optimized using CFD analysis.
These units are constructed from pre-preg, autoclave cured, 2x2 twill carbon, with a polished, high-gloss finish. 3M VHB Mounting Tape and Precision Templates are provided to ensure an OE-Like fit.
Dive planes (also referred to as canards) allow you to shift the aero balance forward, aiding your setup in balancing out a large rear wing, diffuser, while also aiding with front grip on track. These are a great first step in aerodynamic tuning for any Corvette Stingray Owner!

Science:
Small components that do big things, Dive Planes are an important piece to any performance aerodynamic build. They function by controlling the airflow around the vehicle. The Dive Planes work in unison to create a beneficial vortex, which helps evacuate the fenders, which reduces lift on the body and bumps downforce slightly at the front end of the vehicle. Additionally, Dive planes help tune the aerodynamic balance of a vehicle by shifting the balance forward without the need for a larger front splitter. A larger front splitter can be prohibitive to driving the car on the street; thus, we were able to create a street-able package that produces enough front-end downforce to balance the rear diffuser on our Ventus 1 Kit, while adding further improvements when used in conjunction with advanced aerodynamic components. We developed the dual dive plane kit to work well with all Ventus Packages for the Corvette Stingray (C8).
The Dual Element Dive Plane Kit for the Corvette Stingray (C8) is a great way to enhance your Stingray, whether it is meant for the street or for the track.
