jimjam92 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Hi guys, Just something I was wondering the other day whilst I was staring at my car out of the window (come on, we've all done it!) How many other production cars came with rear wings of similar or more outrageous size than the Supra's? The question springs to mind as, although a big wing is considered almost normal now, back in the early 90's the Supra got a lot of stick from motoring journalists for the size of it's spoiler, in who's opinion was 'disgusting' and ruined the look of the car. I personally think Supras look wrong with anything but the factory original or TRD wing. Off the top of my head I can only think of 4: Ferrari F40 Subaru Imprezas Mitsubishi Evos Celica GT4 (with optional raiser blocks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATT RR Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Escort Cosworth is 1st to spring to my mind I agree on the Supra Spoiler, TRD looks great IMO but would aaways choose stock myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwalker705 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 3 door sierra cosworth whale tail was pretty out there in its day. Escort cossie was similar, but even the "smaller" WRC style wing isnt exactly shy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squiffy Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Lamborghini Countach Porsche 911 TurboThe countach also had a big wing in the wrong place [emoji23] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 The countach also had a big wing in the wrong place [emoji23] Yep, those front mount wings were only in some of the US model Countachs. Those huge US bumpers are also horrendous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwalker705 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 saw on yesterdays hoonigan episode the rear wing was a $5000 option.. reduced the top speed by 15mph too. Wonder if it offered any handling advantages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
