A spoiler is a part of a vehicle, usually mounted on the rear, that helps improve its aerodynamics by reducing air drag and increasing stability. This makes the vehicle more stable at high speeds by preventing the airflow from lifting the car. Spoilers are often seen on sports cars and racing vehicles, but they can also be added to regular cars for aesthetic or performance purposes. They are designed to direct air in a way that enhances handling and overall control, especially during fast driving.
