Abstract Being a continuous subject of research, this study presents new results concerning devices used to generate downforce and their influence in road vehicle aerodynamics. Thus, using a mass production car model, the study examines the effects of a rear wing and a short underbody diffuser on the main aerodynamic characteristics, lift and drag. The results show that the lift of the studied car decreases due to both diffuser and rear wing, more significantly due to the later one. Concerning the drag, it decreases only in the case of underbody diffuser.
