It works by providing a space for the underbody airflow to decelerate and expand (in area, as density is assumed to be constant at the speeds that cars travel) so that it does not cause excessive flow separation and drag, by providing a degree of "wake infill" or more accurately, pressure recovery. The diffuser itself accelerates the flow in front of it, which helps generate downforce

Right Right ! so that's why cars like GTRs, Maclarens, Ferraris, Lambos have them.

@ Nikon, love the car man
How's your back? Do you get weekly massage therapy?
I'm on 19'' and I tell you, after one hour of driving I'm in pain.
