ENGINEERING
WITH PURPOSE.

Material, structure, aerodynamics and real use begin at the same table. This is the VIC engineering record.

01 / AERODYNAMICS

AIR IS A DESIGN INPUT.

Flow is shaped before it becomes a sensation. CAD studies and road verification inform the shell from the first line.

02 / SHELL ENGINEERING

STRUCTURE BEFORE DECORATION.

The shell is developed as a load-bearing object, with seals, reverse-lock geometry and carbon layup configured by structural demand.

4–6 carbon-fiber layers are configured by structural demand, with up to 6 layers in critical load areas. This is not a claim that the entire shell uses 6 layers.

04 / ROAD VERIFICATION

CURRENT OFFICIAL TEST RECORD: 230 KM/H.

230 km/h is the current official high-speed test record. It is not a rated speed, a guarantee or a recommended speed for public-road driving.

It is surprisingly quiet at high speed—there is no obvious wind noise.
You barely feel any load.

ENVIRONMENTAL WIND CONDITIONS

Environmental Wind Conditions & Acoustic Performance

VIC STINGRAY’s acoustic performance is evaluated through real-world driving tests and continuous validation.

Wind noise during driving is influenced not only by vehicle speed, but also by ambient wind speed, direction, and airflow stability.

Under normal and relatively stable wind conditions, in-cabin sound pressure measurements may remain within a consistent range. However, seasonal winds such as the northeast monsoon, as well as strong crosswinds and gusts associated with typhoons, can alter airflow around the vehicle and cause varying degrees of noise increase or fluctuation.

Sound pressure measurements obtained under specific test conditions should therefore be interpreted in the context of the prevailing wind environment, rather than treated as constant values under all weather conditions.

VIC continues to optimize controllable engineering elements, including structural integrity, airflow management, sealing, and installation quality, while recognizing the influence of natural wind conditions on real-world acoustic performance.
