GTS version has two options listed:

a) Aero

b) GTS-Aero

First one features front splitter + wing
Second, additionally includes side skirts and extended rear diffuser

Do any of you guys who've driven both version of the car have any impressions? I guess track-wise performance, as the Aero should have any impact on road conditions (unless one drives this on autobahn at top speed - which is not my thing)

Does any of you feel that there were situations that the car could do with some extra downforce (Aero) and if the additional side skirts and prologued diffuser justify x2 the price of the basic (non-GTS) aero

Cheers!

Do you really expect anybody has driven both aero-options under identical race conditions although they are available only since a few months? I guess to get a usefull answer on your question, you have to contact a factory test driver.

However aero makes sense on the track. If used on the track, more aero is certainly better - so probably worth the money to chose the full package.
Personally, I would rule out the rear spoiler, which destroys the beautiful classic line and is rather amateurishly mounted on the lid anyway.

Yeah, fair point ... but I don't have a contact of a test driver - only you guys here

The wind certainly ruins the aesthetics for me also, but there's no option to get everything but the wind
But from performance perspective, the wind should make a difference, especially if you get front splitter
I don't know. I m also tight on budget, so its not like a case I d be willingly putting 12K on something I haven't got feedback on

With the rear wing I partially agree with you both from the design and aesthetic points. To me full aero pack (GTS Aero) justifies the rear wing. Otherwise it looks alone and even a bit after market.

I don't have any driving experience with the GTS Aero kit but visually it is so appealing to me! If you can afford it I think you wouldn't regret. In such cases I prefer the regret of "doing it" not the other way around biggrin

Please also consider adding Akrapovic bits.

For sure there're so many (probably even better) parts for aero and exhaust. IMO factory fitting is usually better and OEM parts aligns better.

Agree with what you said

But based on the (lack of) evidence, I can't justify 12000EUR extra (especially since this is a far stretch for the car as is without any aero)

I ll probably do without then
