Voltex offers different specs when they produce wings. Based on previous experience with Voltex, this wing will probably range from 1400-1900mm. It will more than likely be produced in FRP, wet carbon, and dry carbon. A wing like this is best used when on a track with a lot of tight turns. This wing should significantly increase downforce; only reason I say this is because one of my fellow peers uses a Voltex wing on his S2000 when he tracks...his wing creates so much downforce that it actually dented his reinforced OEM trunk. Depending on your priorities, this is either a huge plus or huge frustration. As most people know, the more downforce you have, the more drag you have. So for tracks with a lot of straights and less sharp turns, you might want a wing with a little less downforce IMO.
