What are the effects of installing a front splitter?
1 Answers
A front splitter is an exterior accessory, and installing one can enhance the overall appearance of the vehicle. The advantages and disadvantages of adding a front splitter to a car are as follows: 1. Reduces forward driving resistance: When a car is in motion, speeds exceeding 60 mph result in 80% of the power being used to overcome wind resistance. The front splitter reduces the amount of air entering the underside of the car, thereby decreasing forward driving resistance and increasing downforce. 2. The further forward the position, the better the drag reduction effect: In many factory cars, considering ground clearance and potential frequent scraping, this part is usually made of soft rubber material. The further forward the position, the better the drag reduction effect, and the more effective the increase in front-end downforce; however, the angle of the lower edge's forward tilt should not be too large. 3. Other effects: In addition to the airflow entering the underside of the car, the shape, position, angle, and other data of the front lip also affect the airflow entering the grille and the airflow directed to both sides of the body.
