| spoiler | A wing placed on the rear hatch or trunk of a car that helps to hold down the rear end of a car during high speed drive by creating down-force, thus preventing the rear wheels from losing contact with the road (most effective on cars where the rear wheels are the drive wheels) | en | en |
