Watched an episode of Wheeler Dealer featuring a 1995 Ford Escort Cosworth RS 2.0L turbo AWD.
The car came with a double rear wing from the factory. They had the original designer on the show who showed his original three wing design which basically centered a wing between the ones the bean counters allowed.
They put the car in a wind tunnel with two then added the originally designed third wing. The 3rd wing added over 25 lbs of additional downforce at 100 mph of wind. 35% more downforce.
More interestingly the net result added more downforce in front too due to the way the car distributed weight as it settled.
Theres little doubt what the SVO's 2nd wing likely did to its downforce. Does anyone have any stats or data?
What about the Saleen wings? Has anyone ever stackedan SVO wing on top of a Saleen base?
I remember back in the 90's AutoKraft cut up an 86 GT / 87-93 LX style wing and grafted it together with an 87-93GT base. Relatively cheap way to build a giant Saleen - ish - style wing.... Similar mayhem could be done to make a second wing above the Saleen base.
Anyway - fun stuff.
