Oh, many cars call wings spoilers, for some reason. But then the line gets blurred, as many cars don't have effective wings.
But ALL cars now have spoilers. Look at the back of any car, I did today. From Fireflys to Minivans to corvettes to Ferrari 550's, all cars have them, because they work. Most aren't very defined though, but then they don't need to be.

Actually not all cars have spoilers. Maybe my G20 is unique, but I can't see one back there (even a subtle one). By the way, the F60 looks like the bat-mobile...really ugly. Sorry to all you that like it (my reply probably doesn't mean much) but Ferrari could have done much better. I hope the spy photos depict a car that is actually disguised. F355 and 360 are MUCH better looking cars!

 Other way around guys, if you have air moving quickly over the top of the car you have downforce. Higher air velocity equals higher air pressure (density) relative to the bottom of the car with lower velocity air and lower pressure. A wing on a car works the same way, it is a inverted airplane wing, fast air over the top and slow under, the reverse of a airplanes wing where air moves faster under the wing than over the wing to create lift.just clearing things up  -Ian

Oh and spoilers are lips on the trunkdeck or sometimes on the top of the rear windshield, these work to aerodynamically "flatten" the top of the car to increase air speed over the top of the car lessening lift created by the nature shape of all cars. Airdams work in a similar way but on the bottom of the car, they block (dam) air from getting under the car and lowering the air pressure under the car, rear diffusers and special underbody design like on the 360 also helps with this. Wings are simply inverted airplane wings creating downforce; thats the main difference, wings actually produce downforce while spoilers attempt to "spoil" (lessen) the lift created by the shape of the car. (Which has the same cross-sectional profile as the common airplane wing.)

ian840 needs to go back to grade 9 science. The faster the air, the lower the pressure. The slower the air, the higher the pressure.
Dont belive me?? Fine, put some straws flat on the table, put two pop cans standing up (empty) on the straws. Then blow between them. They will get sucked together. This is why cars want to "fly" They are shaped like airplane wings (more or less)

Yes I stand corrected about air pressure, thats what happens when you try to explain something at 3am after being out all night at bars with your friends... hah... anyways here is a good page explaining airfoils, long but comprehensive.

Hey, I'm getting 93 in Science!
But it is easy, and it proves the point.

I have physics next semester, its chemistry right now.
Do any Ontarioins here have University math?? Our class average is 59, but I have the second highest.

i take university/college math. We use the same text books as you the University math, the only thing different is that the teachers explain more and we don't do as many of the harder questions.... and i'm still failing my ass in that class too
 I'm in gr.11 I'm pretty sure every student in Ontario needs atleast 3 science credits you need gr9 and 10 science plus another one that could be like physics, biology, chemistry.... maybe some others too

Oh, I dont really care about those extra mandatory credits, I got them all. I'm in grade 11 too, kinda neat, huh.
Can't help but laugh that someone posted the literacy test on the net, though:hehehe:
