During the development of this aerodynamic kit Vorsteiner insisted the factory original
active aero function of the standard rear wing would be retained without showing any errors on the dashboard... keep in mind the fact the original wing «rises» isn't only to increase down - force but also to allow more air to be extracted from the engine compartment... even with the Vorsteiner carbon fiber rear wing installed this functionality remains.

Although it doesn't share the track car's
active aero tricks, it does feature fully revised aerodynamics — wider bumpers and side skirts, new spoilers, diffusers, and underbody channels — all to create significant downforce.
Unlike active aero systems that help the car brake, like those of the McLaren 650S or P1, Lamborghini's ALA helps aero - vector the car for faster cornering speeds.
