Nah, the heck with the Turbo, I'll take mine naturally aspired and prefer the 911 bumperettes

New Boxster Spied

One of the photos in the "Related Articles" section clearly shows that the clam shell is gone and the roof extends back farther to give the rear window area a more gentle slop. It looks good with the roof closed. Just wondering what it will look like with the roof open. Will it be a long portion of roof showing?

Still DON'T like those plain, ordinary looking mirrors stuck on a gorgeous car like the Boxster.

...do wings create more down-force, reduce lift or both

Regardless, they seem to be engineered to the right height for each... ummmm... model

Wings

Probably the most popular form of aerodynamic aid is the wing. Wings perform very efficiently, generating lots of down force for a small penalty in drag. Spoiler are not nearly as efficient, but because of their practicality and simplicity, spoilers are used a lot on sedans.

The wing works by differentiating pressure on the top and bottom surface of the wing. As mentioned previously, the higher the speed of a given volume of air, the lower the pressure of that air, and vice-versa. What a wing does is make the air passing under it travel a larger distance than the air passing over it (in race car applications). Because air molecules approaching the leading edge of the wing are forced to separate, some going over the top of the wing, and some going under the bottom, they are forced to travel differing distances in order to "Meet up" again at the trailing edge of the wing. This is part of Bernoulli's theory.

What happens is that the lower pressure area under the wing allows the higher pressure area above the wing to "push" down on the wing, and hence the car it's mounted to.

Wings, by their design require that there be no obstruction between the bottom of the wing and the road surface, for them to be most effective. So mounting a wing above a trunk lid limits the effectiveness.
