Vorsteiner Ferrari 458-VX Aero Program

November 7, 2016 | Posted in: Current Events

Vorsteiner unveiled the latest aero program for the Ferrari 458 Italia last week at SEMA. Our Ferrari 458 was on display at the Vorsteiner booth sporting the new aero package which features a full carbon front bumper, full carbon rear bumper, and full carbon boot lid.

The aero package gives the 458 Italia a more aggressive front and rear end fascia. The rear is comprised with a low hanging rear bumper with an incorporated diffuser, as well as a tall boot lid with integrated brake light. These two pieces paired with the carbon fiber contrast transforms the 458 rear end.

The front features a low hanging chin spoiler as well as aero loading ducting. The front spoiler directs air into the front radiators as well as out the exit ducts. These aero ducts add load to the front end creating pressure and downforce.

Toyota Prius G debut at SEMA 2016

November 6, 2016 | Posted in: Current Events

We had the opportunity to work on an interesting build with Gordon Ting of Beyond Marketing for Toyota. Yes, it’s a Prius! Inspired by Toyota’s GT300 racecar of Japan, this project was performance focused. We took the Toyota Prius G to Willow Springs International Raceway where it pulled 0.99 G on the skid pad, putting it in the company of high end performance sports cars. With more fine tuning, we’re confident that the Prius will be capable of pulling a full 1 G during next year’s testing. Who knows? This may be a possible candidate for an endurance race?!
