OVERVIEW
The Verus Engineering Ventus 1 Kit for the MX5 ND Miata is a great starter point for those looking to increase downforce without introducing much drag. The Rear Diffuser increases downforce while the Flat Underbody Panels and Rear Suspension covers aid in feeding the Rear Diffuser cleaner uninterrupted airflow, thus increasing its effectiveness. This package sports our Side Splitter Kit which helps keep the high pressure air out from underneath the car. In addition, we include our Dive Planes to shift aero balance forward ever so slightly. All this creates a well rounded introduction to those looking to push the performance of their Miata.
The dive planes are produced by 2x2 twill carbon fiber and adhere to the car with 3M tape. The Rear Suspension Covers, Flat Underbody Panels, and Rear Diffuser CFD optimized and manufactured from 5052 aluminum sheet metal, laser cut, and press brake bent for an OEM-Plus fit and finish .
All products were developed utilizing in-house scan data, CAD, and CFD analysis. This ensured an OEM like fit and finish as well as function as intended for performance. This is one of our most popular kits and is an excellent first step in aerodynamic and chassis tuning for any customer looking to add both function and form to their ND Miata.

Science:
The Verus Engineering Ventus 1 kit was designed for the Performance Enthusiast who wants to dip their toes into improved aerodynamic performance for their ND MX-5 Miata. By increasing a bit of front downforce and adding a rear diffuser along with underbody panels and suspension covers to reduce lift and drag, we can safely add additional performance to the Miata and keep a fairly stock, or OEM+, appearance. This creates a safe and effective improvement in aerodynamic efficiency that leads to lower lap times and an improved driving experience.
Verus Engineering uses OpenFOAM for all our CFD cases. To ensure accuracy and repeatability, we have validated our CFD in a number of ways, both on and off track. Our vehicle models are obtained by scanning our development vehicles and reverse engineering them for accuracy.
