Does anybody know if the rear wing on a Bertone X1/9 was standard, optional, or dealer installed?
I assume it is strictly aesthetic and not really functional, or at least I couldn't find any reference to it being functional. Certainly not on period race cars, anyway. The drag Cd of 0.380 is the same between an 89 & 80. Anybody ever seen numbers for the front/rear aero lift? My Spitfire generated 270 and 70lbs respectively. I installed a front air dam to try to make the front better.
I think the wing looks a little 'boy racer' to my taste (Neither a boy nor a racer any longer
). So off it may come, in a reversible manner, if it was original equipment.
