I've been getting a few PM's about the Wipers for the GT.

I've attached a couple of teaser photo's - of work in progress.

Final versions will be made of Carbon Fiber/composite material for weight savings and strength.

I'm also using new technology Bosch Wipers Blades that can be found on most current model Mercedes/BMW/Lamborghini, so replacement blades will be available over the counter at dealerships for years to come.

Stay tuned - we may need some "Test" subjects for HIGH SPEED testing to check for lift effect :biggrin

We're just working on the Hinge mechanism at the moment.

In this photo we are using a mock up wiper blade - not the final mount and blade type.. But you can see the contours of the wipers which have been finalized.

How does the swept area compare (OEM vs. CV)?
