"At the rear of the SLR an adaptive spoiler provides additional downforce. From a speed of 60 mph, it automatically adopts a 10-degree position, increasing the contact pressure at the rear axle. The spoiler also doubles as an airbrake: when the driver brakes heavily, it rises to an angle of 65 degrees, not only ensuring increased aerodynamic drag but also shifting the aerodynamic centre further towards the rear. This lends the SLR excellent stability when braking from high speeds."
Now why on earth would you not want an awesome feature that a $435,000 car has?
Some other sweet cars with deployable spoilers:
Bugatti Veyron
Lambroghini Murcielago
Chrysler Crossfire
Who still thinks it's ricey?
Welcome to the future, gentlemen.
Not a Mega-Buck car, but my Turbo Beetle had a auto-deployable wing at the top of the rear window also................
It opened at a more radical angle and if the sunroof was open at 65mph....the electronics would close the sunroof when the wing deployed. Is that trik or what????!!!!!
