The ducktail to buy Whale Tail Spoiler Porsche 911 online, so called because of its characteristic shape, was designed to counteract the effects that such a lightweight Porsche sportscar – it tipped the scales at under 1000kg – had on its stability. The rear wing’s unique design helped keep the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 planted on the road by increasing the car’s downforce.
Despite the legendary status that it commands today, it would be almost four decades before we saw a factory-built Porsche car fitted with the ducktail spoiler again when it appeared on the 911 Sport Classic (type 997). While the 911 Carrera 2.7 RS saw just 1,580 units roll off the production line during its lifetime, the next Porsche car adorned with the ducktail was even rarer still, with just 250 produced. The enduring legacy of the ducktail remains disproportionate to the limited numbers of cars on which it has featured. It’s certainly earned its iconic status.
Porsche taco wing
The so-called ‘taco’ wing may not be quite as well-known as its whale tail and ducktail predecessors, but its unique design certainly stands out. Introduced on the Porsche 911 GT3 (type 996.1) – although later also made available as part of a factory aerokit – it got its rather curious nickname from its resemblance from the side to the shape of one of Mexico’s culinary staples. It’s also known, by some, as the Pacman spoiler – which is also easy to see why.
