OVERVIEW
Modern turbocharged performance vehicles are able to push the envelope harder than ever before! The one thing that can slow them down is heat. The Verus Engineering Carbon Hood Louver Kit for G80/G82 BMW M3/M4 helps reduce engine bay heat and pressure. The louver improves cooling stack efficiency, under-hood component longevity, and adds a bump in the front-end downforce by alleviating air pressure in the engine bay.
Using scan data, we developed the hood louver to have an OEM-type fit and finish to the hood's contour. We took special care to ensure the louver was placed in an area that removed *minimal* under-hood structure as well as in an area of low pressure for maximum evacuation. The Hood Louvers are also designed to enhance the function of the factory grilles, making them ideal for anyone looking to add a more aggressive finish to their G-Series M3/M4 that keeps things cool, mile after mile.
Through CFD and on-track data, we found the louvers to work very well on the car, dramatically reducing under-hood temperatures and improving aero balance. These are a must-have product for anyone looking to separate their G-Series M3/M4 from the crowd in form and function.

Science:
Utilizing modern CFD, we located a hood position of low pressure to maximize under-hood evacuation and a louver design that encourages evacuation as well. Relieving this under-hood pressure increases front-end downforce, as the pressure pushing up on the hood is no longer present. Evacuating this hot engine bay airflow also improves cooling stack efficiency and can increase part longevity for components that are heat-sensitive. Adding the louver is a great way to increase front-end grip and reduce under-hood temperatures on track.
