Porsche Patent Shows Active Rear Diffuser Invention

5/1/201710:51 estFiled to: OptionsBy: Pepper Girl

Active aerodynamics are nothing new to Porsche. They started testing such technology at least as early as the 906 program and really moved things forward with the 908 (cars like the 908LH Flunder were a study in active aero).
