Opinions? Duck tail vs. Carrera Tail (aerodynamically speaking) - Rennlist Discussion Forums


When Porsche first put the "ducktail" on the 911 it decreased lift and increased cooling by building up air pressure before the tail and allowing the fan to draw in more air.

Cut slot into ducktail to increase airflow into engine - Pelican Parts Technical BBS


From the above thread:

Yes,the ducktail receives the downwash off roof increasing the pressure differential across the heat exchanger(s).

Back in July, I spotted this in Italy at the Villa D Este Concourse D'elegence, in the underground garage. I was told it was the only one. Mind you the event was full of one off specials.

Very pretty in the flesh & tiny my modern standards


I've just realised the pics of the Volkhart on display are from the same event & I missed it!
