Werks One CompositesCarbon Fiber Rear Diffuser for 997 / 997.2 Turbo / S

Werks1 uses advanced engineering and computer modeling techniques to create a functional prototype, which is then wind tunnel tested, modified, and then re-tested until the desired result is achieved. On the 997 Turbo, it was shown that the Werks1 carbon fiber rear diffuser produced a decrease in overall lift of over 45lbs at 180mph which, in fact, translated to positive downforce at the rear axle. Best of all, these results were achieved while adding a mere .006Cd to the vehicles overall drag coefficient. To the driver, this added rear downforce limits the vehicle's tendency to exhibit dangerous oversteer in high speed cornering situations. Instead, the Turbo will now exhibit a slight tendency to understeer, which is generally much safer and predictable.

Installation with the included hardware and instructions is simple and straightforward, utilizing factory mounting points with no modifications required to the vehicle. The underside of each Werks1 rear diffuser is also laminated with special heat resistant material in order to protect the carbon fiber finish from damage due to heat.

The stunning carbon fiber finish is the result of a painstaking process that begins with 100% pre-impregnated carbon fiber, vacuum bagged and autoclave cured to insure perfect material consistency throughout the entire part. The finishing touch is a layer of glossy clearcoat which not only protects the carbon fiber structure but also gives the wing a shine to match Porsche's excellent paint finish.
