KNOW HOW SPOILERS WORK

Spoilers are added to cars and other vehicles to make them more aerodynamic. Most are attached to the back of the vehicle, above the trunk, on the rear window, on the roof, or on the front. Various types and the positioning of a spoiler can do different things to improve a vehicle’s performance. However, the main reason people install these gadgets is to allow for better airflow over and around the vehicle, which in turn, creates better grip or traction on the road. Vehicles that run at high speeds often encounter control problems because, at high speeds, the increased airflow creates too much lift, which can be especially dangerous when the vehicle makes a turn, as this can make it fly off the road and lose control.

Benefits of a Car Spoiler :-

Installing a spoiler on a vehicle provides a variety of benefits for owners. The main benefits, perhaps, are for better traction and to add a sporty look, but also include other advantages, such as increased fuel efficiency, added visibility, reduced vehicle weight, and braking stability.

 

Benefit 1: Maintain Traction

The main benefit of installing a spoiler on a vehicle is to help it maintain traction at very high speeds. When a vehicle goes very fast (over 70 mph), the air pressure can lift the car, which makes it difficult to maneuver the car without the danger of having it spin out of control. Rear spoilers, in particular, push the back of the car down so the tires can grip the road better and increase stability.

 

Benefit 2: Increase Fuel Efficiency

Front car spoilers or air dams can increase gas mileage in some cars. Since these types of spoilers reduce the drag, instead of increasing it, by pushing the air around the vehicle, it does lower the amount of energy, or fuel, the car needs to burn to propel itself forward.
 

Benefit 3: Added Visibility

Another advantage of installing a rear spoiler on a vehicle is the added visibility, which means other drivers on the road can easily see the vehicle to help prevent rear-end collisions and other types of accidents. Certain spoilers, such as trunk cap spoilers, even have brake lights at eye level so the driver behind can easily be alerted when the vehicle is slowing down or braking.
 

Benefit 4: Reduce Weight

Believe it or not, a spoiler can reduce the weight of a vehicle. While this may seem counterintuitive, it makes sense in a way. The only thing keeping a vehicle stable on the road is its weight. Perhaps that is why many people have this perception that SUVs are much safer because their heavier mass keeps them steady. However, having a spoiler means that the car manufacturer can reduce the weight of the vehicle by using lighter materials or doing away with unnecessary weight without the worry that driving at high speeds causes the car to become unsteady and fly off the highway.
 

Benefit 5: Create a Stylish Look

Most car owners install spoilers as a fashion accessory, and spoilers do a pretty good job of making a vehicle look cool. This idea first became popular in the 1970s, when Porsche introduced the 911 Turbo, which featured whale tail spoilers on the back. Today, many cars come with built-in spoilers to evoke that sporty look, though many aftermarket spoilers are available for a wide variety of car makes and models.
 

Benefit 6: Increase Braking Stability

Adding spoilers that raise the downward force on the back of the vehicle not only increases traction, but the braking ability as well. Drivers have an easier time braking, even at high speeds, making driving even safer.
