A spoiler is an automotive aerodynamic device whose intended design function is to 'spoil' unfavorable air movement across a body of a vehicle in motion, usually described as turbulence or drag. Spoilers on the front of a vehicle are often called air dams. Spoilers are often fitted to race and high-performance sports cars, although they have become common on passenger vehicles as well. Some spoilers are added to cars primarily for styling purposes and have either little aerodynamic benefit or even make the aerodynamics worse.
The term "spoiler" is often mistakenly used interchangeably with "wing". An automotive wing is a device whose intended design is to generate downforce as air passes around it, not simply disrupt existing airflow patterns. As such, rather than decreasing drag, automotive wings actually increase drag.
Since spoiler is a term describing an application, the operation of a spoiler varies depending on the particular effect it's trying to spoil. Most common spoiler functions include disrupting some type of airflow passing over and around a moving vehicle. A common spoiler diffuses air by increasing amounts of turbulence flowing over the shape, "spoiling" the laminar flow and providing a cushion for the laminar boundary layer. However, other types of airflow may require the spoiler to operate differently and take on vastly different physical characteristics.

In this newest episode I look at how spoilers and Gurney flaps affect the aerodynamics of a Holden Commodore sedan race car. The results show the trade-off of increased drag but decreased lift and increased stability that these aero devices provide to sedan vehicles. More can always be found at GraysGarage.ca
In this newest episode we look at the new fad aerodynamic device for your car, the roof visor spoiler. These devices are often marketed by companies as "aerodynamic additions" to your vehicle. We take a look at what "aerodynamic" means in this context and the results may surprise you. You may think twice before adding one of these devices to your vehicle! For more see www.GraysGarage.ca

We explore how car spoilers work, and whether or not they actually do anything for your average road car. The net result: You aren't going to feel the difference. Rear wings are important for racecars as they are larger than those on road cars, the cars themselves are lighter, and they are looking to shave fractions of a second off lap times. However on road cars, not only are they not made large enough, but they have less of a difference at 100mph than having a child in the passenger seat of the car. Basically, they are there because they look cool. Bigger wing = More downforce Song is "You Got to Feel it Tonight" - Lorenzos Music
