Spoiler comes up only at 120kms/h?

[henrylee1]

Silly question ... but I've read that the spoiler only pops up when the car reaches 120kms/h. But in Australia, our speed limit is like 100kms/h!!

So is there a way to program the spoiler to come up at 100kms/hr?? I know there is a manual button to make it come up .. but not really interested in having to keep pressing the button to bring it up and down...

Its not really that important a question, but was just curious I guess....

It comes up at that speed because that is when it is needed from an aerodynamics standpoint. It "spoils" the air flow going over the rear trunk area, creating down-force, for more high speed stability.

Interestingly it does work. Compared to the Elise, the 987 is much more planted at that speed and higher. The engineers obviously didn't feel it to be necessary to require that downforce earlier, but as you know, you can press that button at any time. I can't see that thing up anyways, so I don't even think about it. At that speed, I'm just watching the road ahead of me :D Easy to call your dealer to find out though, good luck.

Cheers :)
