Define Spoilers in Vehicles?

Spoilers in vehicles are aerodynamic devices attached to the rear or front of a car designed to improve stability and handling. They work by disrupting airflow to reduce lift and drag, enhancing the vehicle's grip on the road. This helps maintain better control at high speeds and can improve overall performance. Spoilers are commonly found on sports cars and performance vehicles, and their design and effectiveness vary based on their placement and intended purpose.
