OVERVIEW
The Ventus 1 package for the Porsche 718 GT4 is an entry-level aerodynamic package designed to increase downforce and reduce lap times. This is a great way for a 718 GT4 owner to increase performance while maintaining their factory warranty!
The 718 GT4 comes with an array of sophisticated aerodynamic equipment from the factory, but we found ourselves wanting more from the performance-oriented model. The Ventus 1 package is designed to increase performance safely and predictably with the addition of our Dual-Element Dive Planes and Rear Diffuser Panels. The dive planes improve front-end downforce by creating downforce on the units and improving the front-fender evacuation. To balance out the front-end elements, rear diffuser panels were added to contain the horseshoe vortices coming off the rear wheels when you swap your large factory muffler for an aftermarket exhaust solution. These diffuser panels fill the leftover gaps and ensure the factory center diffuser has clean airflow.
The dive planes are produced by 2x2 twill carbon fiber and adhere to the car with 3M tape. The rear diffuser panels are 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 ensures an OEM-like fit and finish and function as intended for performance.

Science:
The Verus Engineering Ventus 1 kit was designed for the Porsche Enthusiast who wants to dip their toes into improved aerodynamic performance for their 718 GT4. By increasing a bit of front downforce and adding rear diffuser panels to feed the center diffuser clean air, we can safely add additional performance to the GT4 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.
Our CFD data and our real-world experimental data match up quite well. The strong correlation between CFD data and real-world testing validates both our CFD analysis approach and the package's overall performance.
