From the street to the circuit, purpose-built styling and high-speed stability define what separates a proper aero package from just another body kit. 1016 Industries knows the difference. Their full suite of Audi R8 aero components brings together lightweight materials, motorsport-inspired design, and tested aerodynamic efficiency. Now available through Bulletproof Automotive, these upgrades allow Audi 4S R8 owners to dial in real-world performance gains while amplifying the exotic profile of Audi’s flagship.
Each part in this lineup is designed with factory compatibility in mind, blending seamlessly with the R8’s natural contours. The use of either standard or forged carbon fiber gives enthusiasts a visual choice between clean uniformity or striking texture. Regardless of finish, all 1016 components are engineered for structural integrity and long-term durability under demanding driving conditions.
The 1016 Industries Rear Wing adds a function-focused attitude without sacrificing balance. This wing improves the rear-end dynamics of the car by controlling turbulent air and creating usable downforce. In higher-speed scenarios, that aerodynamic advantage translates to better grip, faster corner exits, and a more planted rear section under braking. Finished in your choice of standard or forged carbon, it’s an ideal upgrade for drivers looking to sharpen their R8’s handling while elevating its visual presence.
Installation is engineered to be straightforward, fitting cleanly within OEM tolerances. With no excessive overhang or tacked-on aesthetic, the wing maintains the car’s proportions while adding a distinct motorsport edge. On a platform like the 2020+ R8, where aerodynamics begin to matter as speed climbs, a component like this makes a measurable difference.
The 1016 Industries Carbon Hood for the Audi R8 is about strategic weight reduction and airflow management. While carbon fiber reduces mass over the front axle, improving steering feel and efficiency, the hood’s geometry plays an equal role. Sculpted to smooth airflow over the front end, this component helps reduce lift and maintain stability as speeds increase. For road course use or highway driving alike, this balance becomes critical.
Its construction offers both strength and visual appeal. Standard carbon presents a uniform finish with OEM-inspired refinement, while forged carbon offers a bolder aesthetic with unique layering in the weave. Either option enhances the presence of the R8 without disrupting the silhouette. As with all 1016 pieces, quality control and material consistency are top priorities.
The 1016 Industries Carbon Side Skirts for the Audi R8 4S improve side-profile aerodynamics by directing air cleanly along the lower body. This airflow control reduces drag and mitigates turbulence beneath the car, which helps overall stability. At high speeds, even minor reductions in drag can aid in maintaining consistent tire contact and reduce lateral sway.
These side skirts also extend the visual line of the R8, giving it a more planted and aggressive stance. The carbon fiber build keeps weight to a minimum, ensuring there’s no unnecessary load added to the body. Whether viewed in motion or at rest, the extended rocker design pairs cleanly with the rest of the 1016 kit to create a unified, performance-oriented aesthetic.
Air exiting beneath the car has just as much influence on stability as the airflow up front. The 1016 Industries Carbon Rear Diffuser takes control of this turbulent zone and channels it with purpose. By accelerating airflow out the rear, the diffuser helps create a low-pressure zone that pulls the car downward, a known method for increasing grip without additional drag.
Its integrated fins and carbon construction add texture and detail to the R8’s lower rear end. This isn’t just a styling piece for visual drama; it’s a performance upgrade rooted in practical function. Ideal for drivers who push their R8 on the track or spirited canyon roads, this rear diffuser enhances rear-end stability when it matters most.
Completing the package is the 1016 Industries Carbon Front Aero Lip. Built with the same high-quality carbon fiber found across the lineup, the lip serves as the first line of airflow management at the front of the car. It reduces lift by channeling air under and around the bumper, increasing traction at the front tires.
Its design complements the R8’s fascia without feeling bolted on or intrusive. In the right lighting, the carbon weave brings out a motorsport texture that ties into other components of the 1016 kit. For owners who value balance between appearance and performance, this front lip is the right starting point—or finishing touch.
Every piece in the 1016 Industries Audi R8 aero package is engineered to do its job, lighten weight, improve stability, and enhance flow, without compromising the car’s identity. These parts are for drivers who understand that aesthetics and function should work in sync. Bulletproof Automotive is proud to offer the full lineup for both early and late 4S R8 models, all with expert guidance and authorized distribution.
