There are references to Porsche Active Aerodynamics features throughout the Internet, including on the sites of US dealerships. But I've never seen a review that showed them, nor are they mentioned in the Configurator. This, for example, is from porsche.com/stories/mobility:

"Its Porsche Active Aerodynamics includes an adaptive rear spoiler and active cooling flaps on the front air intakes. Additionally, the design of the rear of the car features lateral tear-off edges and a louvred rear diffuser which both contribute to a drag co-efficient of 0.25."


Standard? Gone?? Not in the US???

standard - something like this is not going to vary regionally (unless it does something that's illegal in some regions) - it's mostly about the front bumper area having louvres on a motor and the rear spoiler - my wife's 911 Turbo S has this - and my Taycan had some front louvre action along with the rear spoiler.

I wouldn't stress about this.

Ah, the Top Gear review shows the rear spoiler in operation at 2:30.

I'm surprised Porsche hasn't shown off this feature. People love this kind of stuff because their next door neighbor's SUV won't have one.
