10 Modern Performance Cars With Retro Wheel Spats
Wheel spats are pretty much a thing of the past, but what if these aero devices appeared on lots of modern fast cars? We asked our friendly neighbourhood renderer that question, and he came up with these…
McLaren 675LT
Ferrari 488 GTB
Tesla Model S
Lamborghini Centenario
Honda Civic Type R Prototype
Nissan GT-R
Pagani Huayra
BMW i8
Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Ford GT
Head over here to find out more about wheel spats, and why they’ve mostly been relegated to the history books.
And thanks to Ian.L for the inspiration!
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

If wheel spats were I thing, I think they won be implemented much better than these photoshops.
Would* ffs.
The Lamborghini and the Pagani look really good, but wheel spats look out of place on the other cars.
I gotta say, the GT actually looks good with those.
It would look nice on Centenario for me actually.
y u ruin these good cars
The centenario looks like my grandads Citroën bx
The centenario looks futuristic.
…and it’s confirmed, they look awful on just about anything. And if they ever make a comeback I’ll set up a tuning company to remove them. I’m sure there will be no customer shortage.
these spats are so spatting i’m spatting in my spats
