There's often confusion between a wing and a spoiler, and the two mistakenly get used interchangeably. There is a big difference in aerodynamic function, though. Essentially, a wing on a car is mounted, typically at the rear, to create downforce. Unlike an airplane wing designed to use passing air to lift, the wing on a car pushes it down and increases grip from the tires. A spoiler disrupts the air's flow around the car and can serve different purposes. Most commonly, it's used to spoil the airflow that creates drag and causes instability, particularly on cars with a steep rear slope where a low-pressure zone can be created by airflow separation.
