The result is reduced
lift at the front axle and increased downforce
at the rear axle for improved
aerodynamics and another boost in performance.
All the classic styling cues are present, including uniquely shaped and profiled bumpers — that up front now use hydraulically operated elements that deploy above 75 mph to reduce
lift at speed — wider sills underneath the doors, cooling ducts within the rear fenders and a prominent bi-plane rear wing that also extends out
at 75 mph to counter the
aerodynamic changes taking place up front.

at speed, and an integrated rear diffuser that Porsche says reduces
aerodynamic lift.
Exterior Race - inspired exterior appointments that deliver enhanced performance for the Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 include a fixed rear spoiler that results in reduced
lift and enhanced
aerodynamic balance
at high speeds, and an integrated front fascia «chin» spoiler that reduces
lift while providing greater cooling air flow to the front bakes.
With weight distribution effectively balanced for a mid-engine concept (43 % front, 57 % rear), the center of gravity is just 491 mm from the ground and
aerodynamic downforce is 124 kg
at 200 kph, aided by a competitive
lift - coefficient.
The BRABUS WIDESTAR front apron and its large air dams give the 4x4 an even more striking face, and reduce
aerodynamic lift on the front axle
at high speed.
This visually striking mechanism serves to reduce
lift at the rear axle, optimising both
aerodynamic balance and grip levels of the new MINI Coupe.
For optimal stability, the system reduces
lift by a factor of three and produces the equivalent of 40 kg of rear downforce
at very high track speeds without detracting from the car's carefully honed
aerodynamics designed to achieve a low CdA.
With weight quoted
at 3,847 pounds, Project 8 is no lightweight, but the new panels and wings are tailored to improve
aerodynamics, and Jaguar quotes a 205 percent reduction in
lift, with 269 pounds of downforce
at 186 mph.
Exterior / Interior The 2009 RL's new exterior styling is not only more aggressive, but delivers excellent
aerodynamics and reduced rear
lift at higher speeds.
At the same time, the aerodynamics benefit from the sophisticated styling: The spoiler with raised outer edges minimizes lift on the front axle at high speeds and thereby further improves the handling stabilit
At the same time, the

at high speeds and thereby further improves the handling stability.
Aerodynamic enhancements include larger air intakes
at the front and side fender vents that lower pressure in the wheelarches, reduce
lift and provide additional cooling while also optimising high - speed stability.
In addition to this, they equip the tail - light lenses with special spoiler lips, which direct the airstream flowing along the car's flanks a long way rearwards; were these small spoiler lips not included, the air would flow inwards
at the rear of the E-Class and create a vacuum, which would have a negative impact on both
aerodynamic drag and
lift.
