just thinking out loud so stop me if you think it's too "ricey".

was thinking we/some of us could benefit from a rear diffuser, especially on track day. imo, i think they look cool. i think it could compliment the rear cladding lines/angles/contours.

could someone maybe photoshop this onto a typhoon? deuce!

Diffusers work in conjunction with other aerodynamic components of a car to help produce downforce. Because a car displaces air as it moves forward, the air molecules in the rear of the car get disrupted causing a vacuum of low pressure air.



To help channel the high speed air flow coming from underneath the car, diffusers redirects the high speed air flow to transition smoothly transition into the low pressure vacuum in the rear. This encourages a smoother flowing air flow underneath the car and allows better performance from other aerodynamic components such as aerodynamic wings.

Re: rear diffuser

I like the idea but it would have to be done right. IE... wind tunnel testing. Otherwise it would be like putting a wing on a brick.
