We're opening pre-orders today on a new product for the 2005-2013 C6 Corvette: the C6.R GT High Downforce Rear Wing. It's a chassis-mounted carbon fiber wing inspired by the factory C6.R GT race car, engineered in-house, and built to ship starting October 2026.
Here's how it's built, why we made the design choices we made, and how the pre-order works.
Where the design comes from
The Chevrolet C6.R was the factory GT racing version of the C6 Corvette, campaigned in series like the American Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Le Mans through the late 2000s and early 2010s. Its rear wing was a functional aero component, not a cosmetic one — it produced the rear-axle load the car needed at high speed and through long corners.
Our wing takes that same general approach and adapts it to a street or track-driven C6. We engineered it in-house to sit flush with the farthest point of the rear bumper, which is the geometry the original race car used. The intent is functional first, visual second.
Construction and specifications
The wing blade is 74 inches wide and made from 100% carbon fiber. It's hand-laid, hand-polished, and finished under a UV-protected gloss clear coat. The uprights are painted black to match the C6.R reference. All chassis and frame mounting hardware is included in the box.
The wing includes three adjustment points:
- Removable gurney flap — installed for higher downforce, removed for lower drag.
- Adjustable brackets — let you set the angle of attack to match your use case.
- Adjustable end caps — fine-tune the wing's behavior at the tips.
At maximum angle of attack, the wing generates 750+ ft-lbs of downforce. That figure is the reason it's chassis-mounted rather than trunk-mounted. Loads in that range need to tie directly into the frame of the car, not into rear sheet metal.
Two upright sets — and why
One question we always get about flush chassis-mounted wings is hatch clearance. A wing that sits flush with the rear bumper physically blocks normal hatch operation. For some owners that's fine. For others it's a problem.
So the wing ships with two complete sets of uprights, and you choose which one to install:
Standard chassis-mounted uprights
These hold the wing flush with the rear bumper, replicating the C6.R reference geometry. With this set installed, the wing limits normal hatch opening. Most owners running this configuration handle hatch access with quick-release pins (Aerocatch or similar) or by unbolting the wing when full clearance is needed.
Alternative uprights
This set mounts above the rear bumper line. The wing position changes slightly, but you keep full hatch access without removing anything.
Both sets are included at no extra cost. Daily-driven cars typically use the alternative set. Track and show cars typically use the flush set. You're not locked into either configuration — you can swap between them later if your use case changes.
Installation notes
This wing is not a bolt-on. Professional fabrication is required for installation.
Chassis-mounted means the load path runs into the frame of the car, which is what makes the downforce figure possible in the first place. The trade-off is that installation involves drilling and frame work, and it should be handled by a body shop or fabricator with prior aero experience.
If you've never had aero work done on the car, a Corvette specialist or a race fabrication shop is the right place to take it. If a true bolt-on is what you're looking for, this isn't the right product, and our C6 Rear Spoilers & Wings collection has options that may be a better fit.
Pre-order, pricing, and timeline
The wing is available now as a pre-order. Each one is hand-built using our composite process, which is why we're building to confirmed orders rather than holding stock.
- Final price: $3,299 shipped to the lower 48 United States
- Hawaii, Alaska, international: shipping billed separately at ship time
- Today's charge: $50 deposit only — to reserve a build slot
- Balance: collected when the wing is ready to ship, not before
- Production lead time: approximately 6 months
- First shipments: October 2026
The earlier you reserve, the earlier your spot in the build queue.
