Home-made diffuser finished!

[Dee]

After several protypes (cardboard shapes), different mountings, trying different materials (acrylic -> abs plastic) and different colors (dark grey->black) I'm proud to say Project Diffuser is finished to my satisfaction.

[mikeva]

[Gubbjaevel]

Blends in nicely!

How is it mounted?

looks great, but do you think that will make a tangible difference in speed and control?

Yes defenately!
It sucks itself to the ground and generates 15 kg more downforce.
What's also important is that it generates vortexes so my opponent drives through "dirty air" and looses downforce so they fly up when they want to overtake me.
...
HA! Kidding!
...
It's just RICE*.

Grtz Dee.

How is it mounted?

With three screws per fin.
Just to be sure they don't fly off...
The alu strips are for more sturdiness (in case they start to vibrate).

Very nice work! I like it. Congratulations on job well done

Something like that is what the Turbo models should hve from factory!

What’s next, power bands??

Excellent design and detailed work, if I may say. While I know you're kidding about the additional 15kg downforce (more like 20kg), rumor purports that cars have been flipping when trying to overtake a Taycan Turbo S with rear diffusers. May the force be with you!

What’s next, power bands??

My power band is perfectly straight from 0 to whatever you want baby!

What are your thoughts about getting it done in carbon fiber? Of course if it matches your the Porsche OEM weave

I've been thinking about covering it in carbon fiber, then apply several coats of epoxy, sand it down, spray it in high gloss lacquer and polish it.
Never done that before but I don't think it would come out as good as it looks now.
But you never know to whom I will run into in the future...

Looks Great Dee,

How is the ground clearance in the back? Do you find it harder to reverse into these (below) when in low suspension setting?

Nothing has changed actually.
The fins are as low as the car's bottom (the underside, not the ass )
Still, I'll take bumps on normal level just to be sure.
It's different when you drive off a curb cuz the suspension compresses a bit due to the weight of the car, only then you'll have to drive slowly.
Note: my car is lowered 10mm by lowering links so you can say a Taycan is not that low...
