Aero over aesthetic. Function over form. Purpose over compromise.
What is ARD?
ARD (ADRO Racing Division) is ADRO's motorsport engineering program, built for drivers who demand more from their car on track. Every ARD component is developed through CFD simulation and track tested before anything reaches a customer. Scott, ADRO's Head of Aerodynamics, brings an F1 development background to every ARD project. The GR Supra ARD Aero Package is the one of the first full systems to come out of that program.
The Front Splitter
This isn't about adding a flat panel to the front end. It's about initiating a complete aerodynamic strategy, one that starts at the nose and has to be managed all the way to the rear diffuser. Every element of the splitter assembly is CFD-developed to generate, direct, and sustain the vortex structures that the rest of the ARD system depends on.
How It Works
Upper vanes condition the airflow over the outer splitter surface, creating and powering the vortices under the splitter endplate tunnels. Lower strakes control outwash across the splitter, preventing spillage and maximizing effective working area. The F1-inspired endplates initiate strategic vortex generation down the car's sides, working with the V2 sideskirts to extract more air and drive more flow under the front end.
The raised central splitter section feeds the six mid-floor undervanes and delivers clean flow to the rear diffuser while dramatically reducing pitch sensitivity. Every element is CFD-developed to work as an integrated system. This is where balanced aerodynamic development begins for these types of cars: maximize the front, then set the balance with the rear wing.
As part of the complete ARD Aero Package (in stock bumper configuration), the system generates 2041N (459 lbs) of downforce at 180 km/h, a 1532% increase over the GR Supra's stock 125N, with a gain of +1916N (431 lbs) and a 45/55 front-to-rear balance.
Material
ARD components are produced in prepreg carbon fiber. Prepreg uses resin pre-impregnated into the fiber under controlled conditions, which means resin distribution is precise and consistent throughout the part. The result is a lighter, stiffer panel with no soft spots or resin-rich areas that can delaminate under sustained load.
For track use, this matters beyond aesthetics. A splitter that flexes under aerodynamic load does not produce the downforce it was designed to. Prepreg eliminates that variable. What the CFD predicted is what the part delivers, lap after lap, in heat and under sustained aero loads.
