Carbon Frontsplitter "KT-Track" Exige V6

Carbon front splitter V6 "KT-Track"
 
Aerodynamics development from a road car to a race car.
 
The optimal way to optimize your Lotus Exige V6 (MY12-21) aerodynamically and optically. The focus was on a striking increase in the efficiency of the downforce on the front axle.
 
Our new "KT-Track carbon front splitter". Highest quality - Made in Germany!
 
A front splitter ensures a guided air flow at the front of the vehicle to improve road grip. The lift force is reduced by the resulting negative pressure on the underbody and, especially at high speeds, the vehicle is additionally stabilized and the steering behavior is improved. (Downforce)
 
There are basically two ways to achieve the effect of improved downforce on the front axle. You can either extend the splitter to the front in order to apply an increased force on the top, or through the optimized air flow on the bottom.
Lengthening the splitter is technically only possible to a limited extent with the Exige, as it would otherwise constantly touch the road and there is a risk of damage (including ramp angles).
On our version, we also used skid plates known from motorsport. These small metal blocks protect the high-quality component from damage and can be replaced when worn.
 
Our splitter replaces the original front splitter and the aluminum underbody plate attached behind it. This enables us to shape the splitter in an aerodynamically optimal way, that is, the splitter rakes by 4.5 ° and thus creates negative pressure, i.e. downforce, just like the diffuser at the rear.
 
The integrated diffusers on the left and right generate additional negative pressure and a vortex. The two air ducts in the middle are intended for optional ventilation of the brake and can be used on request. This ensures a reduction in the thermal load on the front brake components. The performance, especially when using the track, is significantly improved.
 
We have developed the top wheel arch ventilation (item number 2311-001) and the ventilation through the wheel arch / fender panel (item number 2311-002) so that the air fed into the wheel arches can flow out cleanly (parts have to be ordered separately). Both products are made of carbon using the autoclave process.
 
All three components can also be used individually. However, the optimal aerodynamic effect is only achieved when they are used together. The air flow exiting at the top is placed over the front of the vehicle and thus generates additional contact pressure and improves the flow towards the rear wing. On the side of the front splitter, we have added higher fins in the design that serve as a vortex generator to better guide the air around the vehicle and thus additionally support the aerodynamics by reducing air vortices in the wheel arch. A measure that is very effective and hardly has a negative impact on the vehicle's drag coefficient.
 
The overhang to the front clip is about 8cm on the front-side and about 5cm in the front-middle. Thus, the ramp angle of the Exige is only slightly influenced. The side fins are about 16cm high. The overall component has a size of about 175x75x25cm and is therefore only possible for shipping as bulky goods and within the EU!
