A vehicle, a vehicle brake cooling system, a computer program product, and a method of controlling a vehicle in a manner to achieve enhanced aerodynamic performance of the vehicle and active cooling to the wheel brakes during operation of the vehicle. The vehicle includes one or more a vehicle air vents moveable between a first position and a second position, and one or more processors of a computing system. The one or more processors are configured to dynamically conduct, in response to a detection as sensor data one or more of a current position of the vehicle air vents, a current temperature of vehicle wheel brakes, and a current speed of the vehicle, a vehicle brake analysis of the sensor data. The one or more processors are also configured to dynamically control, in response to the vehicle brake analysis and wireless network data, the vehicle air vents between the first position to enhance the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle and the second position to selectively direct ambient airflow to the vehicle wheel brakes in a manner that selectively cools the vehicle wheel brakes.
