What is a rear spoiler?

The rear spoiler refers to the aero parts that can be attached to the rear of the car, and is called the rear spoiler because it is the aero part that is attached to the rear (rear) of the car.

Where to attach the rear spoiler differs depending on the body type, but in the case of a body with a raised back such as a sedan, it should be installed on the trunk, and in the case of a body such as a hatchback, it should be installed on the rear end of the roof.

By the way, the spoiler attached to the hatchback type is called the tailgate spoiler by another name among the rear spoilers. The spoiler attached to the front of the car is called the front spoiler, as opposed to the rear spoiler.

What is the role of the rear spoiler?

The role of the rear spoiler is to reduce air resistance and improve stability at high speeds.

It regulates the airflow that clings to the back of the car and provides stable running and speed by reducing air resistance.

What is the difference between rear spoiler and rear wing?

The shape of the rear spoiler and the rear wing are different as you can see from the appearance.

To put it simply, the rear spoiler is in close contact with the body and the spoiler, while the rear wing is located far away from the body.

In addition, the effect is slightly different, the rear spoiler is made to remove the airflow behind the body, but the rear wing is made to suppress the airflow.

The rear spoiler is made to be able to run stably when speeding up on ordinary roads and highways, but the rear wing is not so.

With regard to rear wings, it is more suitable for driving on expressways and more on circuits, rather than on general roads.
It is a necessary part for a racing car etc.
