Potential New C8 Patent: Active Hybrid Spoiler

[Zora]

We sure will not see this on the 2020 entry version, but maybe on the later Z06 and/or ZORA versions? This picture speaks volumes about how it works, but if you wants details, pages and pages of patent details/diagrams, at the link.

The picture of where the spoiler attaches shows it to be on the rear of a front engined/4 cylinder car. Would they show it in the configuration simply because they do not want to give away the design of the C8?

Interesting to say the least. I wonder if each side and middle can adjust independently?? I would think that this could make a difference, not only in straight away speed like top end, but cornering as well. If you can plant the car better and carry more speed through the turn, your exit velocity would be higher. Makes it easier to go around ALL those other older, slower, yesterday's designed cars.
