AERODYNAMICWING
The aerodynamic wing is integral to F-TYPE SVR's enhanced performance. Compared
with the standard F-TYPE Coupé's rear wing, F-TYPE SVR produces more downforce
but crucially less drag. The wing is more elevated and wider than the standard F-TYPE
Coupé's spoiler, enabling it to act over the whole width of the car rather than just the
width of the boot lid.
Air passes both over and under the wing, allowing Bernoulli's principle to act in the car's
favour – faster moving air underneath the wing is at a lower pressure than that passing
over the top, resulting in additional downforce.
F-TYPE SVR's wing operates in two different positions:
On F-TYPE SVR Coupé the aerodynamic wing deploys at 113km/h and stows at 80km/h.
On F-TYPE SVR Convertible the aerodynamic wing deploys at 97km/h and stows
at 64km/h.
DEPLOYEDWING
When F-TYPE SVR's wing is deployed it increases downforce for greater stability
and improved handling at top speed. In this position the wing gives a drag coefficient
reduction of 2.5 percent and a lift coefficient reduction of 15 percent.
STOWEDWING
For maximum top speed (V-Max), the wing is stowed to reduce drag. It works
in conjunction with the front spoiler and other aerodynamic enhancements to
bring a drag coefficient improvement of 7.5 percent and lift coefficient reduction
of 45 percent.
V-MAX
In order to achieve 322km/h* you must consciously prepare your F-TYPE SVR.
Select 'Dynamic Mode' and press the deployable aerodynamic wing switch for
3 seconds to enable V-Max Mode. While active, a permanent symbol appears
on the instrument cluster. In this mode the spoiler remains stowed at all speeds
keeping drag to a minimum.
REAR UNDERFLOOR AND DIFFUSER
The smooth rear underfloor reduces drag, whilst the rear diffuser works
with the rear underfloor to manage airflow, adding to F-TYPE SVR's stability.
