It is always "up". it is a fixed active rear wing, when the car is braking it will flip vertically, but if you have the "high-speed-mode" activated, the wing levels out so that the profile is almost flat from the front

This is one in low-drag mode, see how flat the wing is?

And this is what a Senna looks like in race mode

Check out how crazy the wing's profile is now

very cool!  Some new sports car had one that disappears while going slow... Porsche?

A bunch of hypercars have retractable wings, like the McLaren P1,

Or the Porsche 918 Spyder, though I have never posted a shot of one with the wing down

You asked for a down wing ?

I'm jealous now the only time I have ever seen a 918 with the wing retracted, it was using that abysmal CANON backup camera I was using for most of 2018, so the pictures are garbage quality. Which is a darned shame, since I prefer how the 918 looks with the wing down

I like both wing up or down.
As long as there's no Weissach package, I like the 918!
