Chris Harris? I said it is from a Porsche web site: https://www.porsche.com/usa/models/9...touring-paket/

And I can find more references to it being called a wing by Porsche but that should suffice.

I think it has something to do with some sports car buyers caring about styling and aesthetic appeal. Just a hunch.
