    Hi all, I saw GT5 trailer video a while ago, and in the Enzo clip, they showed the rear wing of the Enzo actually going up. I don't know if it's flexing, or when the wing came up, was it under braking or at high speeds to stabilize the car.

    In reality, does the Enzo rear wing moves? I mean, it doesn't seem that the Enzo does have a rear wing...

    Thanks!

    This is what I found when I Google'd it. Don't know the legitimacy of it though.

    I'm sure someone else will chime in though.

    The rear spoiler does indeed deploy during certain speeds.

    Here's a photo of the rear wing deployed.

    I believe it is controlled by a driver setting on the steering wheel. I am not sure if it automatically raises under braking like some other cars to keep the rear planted. Clearly this car is not braking.

    The rear spoiler raises with speed and then goes back down to enhance VMAX.
    The front one is in the diffuser and acts similarly. It's operation comes on earlier in Race mode but it's not driver controllable per se.
    It's not an air brake.

    An F duct on race cars is driver controllable and stalls the rear wing for more straight line speed. Off the wing provides downforce.

    The rear spoiler is elevated up to the point the car goes 135 MPH. The front flaps (under the front to the car) are retracted.

    Over 135 MPH the rear spoiler is lowered completely. But the front flaps extend (downwards) up to top vehicle speed.

    A show in CT called the Concorso Ferrari & Friends. It is an event Jason is familiar with. We both know the yellow Enzo he photographed.
