Why do some sports cars have moving spoilers?

541 views

So when you play games (say Forza Horizon) and you see the more high end sports cars have spoilers that move up and down when it comes to high speeds and breaking instead of being static. Why do some cars do this? What’s the benefit to the engineering behind it?

Because they want it to look cool and sleek when it’s not moving, and then sporty when it’s moving.

Unfortunately most spoilers on cars are purely for looks, as the small wings on these cars won’t really do anything at all unless they are going above 160kph/100mph

Look at a how large the spoilers are on a F1, sprint, NASCAR, or a V8 supercar used in pro racing. Compare those to what’s on the sports cars.
