Construction & Design:
The APR Front Bumper Canards are crafted from high-quality carbon fiber composites using advanced pre-preg manufacturing techniques. This process ensures a consistent fiber-to-resin ratio, resulting in a durable yet lightweight component that withstands the rigors of spirited driving. The carbon fiber weave is coated with a UV-resistant epoxy and clear coat, protecting the finish from sun damage and environmental wear while maintaining a sleek, glossy appearance.
Each canard is meticulously shaped to complement the contours of the APR GT Front Bumper, ensuring seamless integration and a professional, factory-quality look. The aerodynamic profile is optimized to generate downforce without excessive drag, contributing to improved front-end grip and vehicle stability.
Performance & Sound
By increasing front downforce, these canards help stabilize the chassis during aggressive cornering, reducing understeer and enhancing overall handling precision. This aerodynamic enhancement allows drivers to maintain higher speeds through turns with increased confidence and traction. While the canards do not directly affect engine sound, their contribution to vehicle dynamics supports a more controlled and engaging driving experience.
