Should Most Cars Have Retractable Spoilers?

Since the T20 is the first, others have this?

The Adder really ought to have a spoiler that works similar to the one on the T20, but hasn't. The spoiler on the Adder is permanently retracted into the rear whatsyamacallit (fascia? Don't know the word in English).

 

(The Bugatti Veyron that serves as the inspiration for the Truffade Adder has got an automatic/retractable spoiler not unlike the one on the McLaren P1).

One of the few times it's safe to blame "console limitations" is the lack of the Adder's spoiler movement.

I think the adder should have the spoiler. And the rear bumper removed and pipes in the wing for the Zentorno...

They already do. They provide extra traction.

Well he's the one who phrased it wrong.

I guess rockstar will put retractable spoilers on any of THEIR vehicles, if they feel like the design calls for it.

You mean air brakes that make no difference in GTA V to your stopping distance and or downforce.

I agree that the Adder should also have a retractable rear wing, like its real life variation, the Bugatti Veyron.

It always confused me as to why they bothered with that detail at all on the Adder. All it does is draw attention to its lack of functionality and usually encouraged me to stick with a solid colour on mine. Now we see from the T20 that it is possible for R* to do so I can't see how they can avoid applying it to the Adder.

 

To answer OP's question however, no, most cars should not have them. Why would they? o.O

Only cars that cost over 2 million should have them.

The more pertinent question is: Should all cars have KERS?

Is that why the T20 has it on old gen?

No most of them shouldn't. The adder should. I'd like the flaps on the osiris like the Huayra. The vents behind the doors on the infernus would be cool as hell too.

If 1 of the cars irl design cues includes a retractable spoiler, then yes. On every car? No.

If not the retractable spoiler, I'd like to see retractable headlight covers like the Dukes has. If you don't know, it works when the headlights are off, covering them with a grill plate.

I changed the title for you OP so people can understand it easier :)

Much appreciated.

 

Osiris Should have rear and front Air brakes as well...

Lol what? If there really was console limitations then the T20 wouldn't have it...the real question is can R* retrofit the active spoiler on the Adder or do they have to start with a brand new model?

im sure they can fit a retractable spoiler on the adder if they wanted.

 

but why retrofit when you can sell the "new" adder with workibg retractable spoiler for $1.3millions!

Oh sh*t, I totally forgot about the Infernus. That would totally validate my owning one, too.

Adder, T20, Osiris (air brake flaps)

 

I don't care at all about the Adder, but even though I don't drive it I still want to see its spoiler bloom...

 

Mostly though, I want to see those Huayra flaps.

It's actually rather strange that they weren't added in the first place, since the Osiris is about as recent an addition as the T20...

Hell, even the other half of the Hyaura fusion has a retractable spoiler and brake flaps too!

I bet they add a new Adder eventually. $2+million. Call it like the Adder Sport, Adder R, Adder GT, something along those lines.

 

I would buy an Adder with a bodykit and working spoiler if it had the performance to back it up.
