2 degrees positive (measured when the dragster is at rest) to reduce downforce, and required that top fuel cars install a 2 mm (0.090 inch) thick titanium

with a lower lip spoiler as well as a fixed rear wing for providing downforce. Compared to the standard Cayman, it features a 30 mm lower ride height

diffuser in order to make the car generate about 1,000 kg (2,204 lb) of downforce. The Senna GTR will be limited to only 75 examples. In reviewing the future

half of his rear wing had come loose, which would instantly change the downforce on the wheels and could explain the sudden back and forth twitching of

A more aggressive front splitter and a larger rear spoiler increased downforce. A total of 750 Laguna Seca versions were manufactured. Erickson, Keith

that they would develop their own version of the P35 with an increased downforce setup as well as some other mechanical changes. Nismo used molds originally
