Autobacs ASM is at it again. They have designed a GT wing and a special trunk to go along with it. Expect it to be expensive, functional, and lightweight, words that are basically synonymous with ASM.

Here is what ASM said on their blog:

The re-designed GT rear wing especially for car no.1 is complete. With the way the photo is taken, is looks high mounted but with the I.S.Design rear over fender installed, the size are within the inspection. Personally I thought it will be bigger and felt there wasn’t enough punch to it. KING companied me and told me it was big enough and to use it on the streets is a bit embarrassing. This wing was specially design and built for the last corners of Tsukuba 2000 and Fuji Speed Way. The new wing with the specialized trunk for it will be limited quantities of 5pcs. If the mold lasts maybe will be able to make one or two more sets. This is a set of the rear wing and the trunk, it cannot be sold separately.

■I.S.Design Rear wing GT-09 with specialized trunk 840,000 Yen (without paint)

Rear Wing with screws clasp weight 2,896.4g
Specialized trunk weight 2,905g

Both the trunk and the rear wing are 6.4 lb. so that makes a combined total of less than 13 lb, but those 13 lb. will set you back $9,000 (before importing and taxes to the US). Wow. That’s the price you pay for the best of the best. In the end, the customer is buying a product that has gone through thorough engineering and testing for optimal performance.
