The Pzero R is also molded with an aggressive splitter, flared fenders, low slung hood, downforce inducing side skirts and extra rear spoiler elements for the most aggressive aero package with minimal drag. Exotek Racing’s new wing design also has raised wing pedestals placing the wing higher up into clean air and also is more adjustable- allowing you to mount the wing forward or back or add spacers to raise the wing higher.
