Front Splitter
A front splitter is a flat extension under the front bumper that reduces air flowing under the car and adds front downforce.
What is Front Splitter?
It is common on sports models and track cars. It works together with the underbody and rear diffuser. It lowers the effective ground clearance at the front. Some splitters are adjustable so the front-to-rear balance can be tuned on track.
How it works
High pressure builds on top of the splitter while faster air below lowers the pressure, pushing the nose down.
Why it matters for your car
Splitters are easily damaged on kerbs, ramps and speed bumps. Approach steep driveways at an angle to avoid scraping.
