abstract="The rear-end shape of a car is one of the most important parts from the view point of aerodynamics. It governs the aerodynamic characteristics of the car, especially drag and rear lift. However, a rear-end shape like a spoiler often increases drag on recent low-drag cars. In this paper, the relation of rear-end shape to drag and lift is studied by consideration of the wake structure, which is obtained by wind tunnel testing and CFD. Finally, a new rear shape which reduces rear lift without increasing drag and front lift is discussed.<p />",
