Does Installing a Rear Wing on a Regular Sedan Have Any Effect?
1 Answers
Installing a rear wing on a regular sedan does have an effect. When the car is traveling at high speeds, the air passing over the rear wing can increase the vehicle's downforce (generally adding several dozen kilograms of pressure, and in some cases even over 100 kilograms), improving the stability of the vehicle. Additionally, a well-designed rear wing can reduce air resistance, achieving some fuel efficiency to a certain extent. There are two methods for fixing a rear wing on a car: generally categorized as invasive and non-invasive installation. Invasive installation involves drilling holes directly into the trunk lid and then securing the wing with screws. If not handled properly, this method can easily lead to rusting of the vehicle's body panels.
