OVERVIEW
When Chevrolet set out to create the 8th generation (C8) of the Corvette, they created the measuring stick for modern performance, combining the brute force of an American V8 with the poise of a modern mid-engine supercar. However, the Corvette engineers left some room for aerodynamic enhancement to lower lap times and increase driver confidence.
The UCW Rear Wing is a great addition to your Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (C8) to increase downforce significantly in the rear, increase confidence on track, and reduce lap times. Designed to work on the factory trunk, the rear wing bolts on easily and improves performance that this sports car can utilize on track. Similar to our UCW Bottom Mount Rear Wing Kit, the UCW Swan Neck Wing is developed to utilize the low-pressure zone underneath the wing element to pull the car downward, dramatically increasing downforce with a minimal penalty in drag. Due to the top-mount system, we observe an improvement in overall downforce, as more bottom surface area is available to take advantage of the clean, low-pressure zone.
Utilizing state-of-the-art analysis software and wind tunnel testing during the R&D process, we optimized the airfoil for performance for the given build volume, which is derived from the V1X. Further utilizing CFD, we ensured the rear wing sees adequate airflow while installed on the car and performs well.
During the design process, we utilized in-house scan data. This results in a product that features a near OEM fit and finish. Even the uprights have been designed to mount in an area already disturbed by airflow, minimizing the drawbacks of installing functional aerodynamic parts. We engineered the wing to blend into the vehicle's profile while being capable of balancing out significant front aerodynamic systems like our Front Splitter Kit!
The UCW Swan Neck Rear Wing is the perfect addition to the track goer who requires a large bump in rear downforce to balance out a significant front aero package.
UCW Wings are assembled per order and will ship within 5 business days from receipt of order unless otherwise specified.

Science:
The Verus Engineering UCW Rear Wing was specifically designed for the Corvette Stingray enthusiast who wants more rear-end downforce. The wing has 15 degrees of adjustment to enable fine tuning to match your performance needs. This allows the wing to balance out a variety of front aerodynamic kits. As part of our Ventus 2 aerodynamic kit (Swan Neck Variant), the rear wing, and aero kit add a significant amount of downforce to the car to help reduce lap times and increase corner speed.
The swan neck style mounting improves efficiency of the wing element by reducing the poor flow areas on the bottom side of the wing which happens with bottom mount wings. By improving the efficiency of the wing, we were able to extract more performance at less drag penalty when compared to the bottom mount variant.
