High Efficiency Rear Wing Kit for the Mazda MX-5 (ND1 & ND2)
High Efficiency Rear Wing Kit for the Mazda MX-5 (ND1 & ND2)
Verus Engineering started the rear wing design with a clean slate approach, utilizing our own airfoil profile created using ANSYS' adjoint solver. As a result, they were able to create a wing that is highly efficient while generating significant downforce appropriate for the typical track day goer and street enthusiast. By utilizing a swan neck mounting style, we were able to keep efficiency up by feeding the wing clean airflow, unlike typical bottom mount rear wings.
The low drag force produced by this wing is perfect for the Mazda MX-5 ND chassis due to the limited horsepower it produces in stock form. This means corner speeds will increase without a large hit to straight-line top speed or fuel efficiency.

Science
The Verus Engineering High-Efficiency Rear Wing was specifically designed for the ND Miata enthusiast who wants more rear-end downforce for track days, while not decreasing gas mileage substantially or completely ruining straight-line top speeds on the track. The wing mounts were specifically placed in the strongest location on the trunk and then reinforced to help prevent trunk damage. The wing uprights were optimized using CFD and FEA to ensure the most efficient airflow in a straight line and yaw conditions while being strong enough to handle the loads from the wing.
The CFD data and real-world experimental data match up quite well. The wing hit all the major goals set forth to achieve during CFD simulations and then with real-world testing. The strong correlation between CFD data and real-world testing validates both their CFD analysis approach and the wing’s performance.
