EMPI X Foose Design Rear Wing : Type 1
EMPI is proud to collaborate with legendary automotive designer Chip Foose on this all-new EMPI Exclusive rear wing. Precision-engineered and manufactured, this modern reimagining of the no-longer-available "Herrod Helper" wing adds real aero functionality and head-turning style to any Type 1 Beetle.
The Foose wing and support elements are laser-cut and precision-bent from 14-gauge T-6061 aluminum to be lightweight and rigid. Chip designed the wing to provide high-speed stability and enhanced rear-end downforce. The Gurney flap at the back of the wing adds additional downforce, while the TIG-welded end plates help direct air over the wing element. These features make the wing more efficient than older designs.
The TIG-welded aluminum stand-offs were purposefully designed to mount the leading edge away from the body, allowing cooling air to reach the engine unimpeded. The wing mounts low enough to not interfere with rear visibility while sitting high enough to clear the rear decklid when opened.
The mild steel mounting brackets are 16-gauge and powder-coated black. These brackets sandwich the engine cooling vents for a secure bolt-on installation. No cutting or drilling is required — installation is fully reversible at any time.
