I'm talking aerodynamics, my room temperature IQ friend. I don't use AI bullshit to speak for me.
Wing design is important. Downforce is always welcome, but depending on how the wing redirects air across the frontal area of the car, any number of things can happen, besides just an increase in downforce. That's what interests me. As the yaw of your car changes during a corner, the shape of its wake changes, and incoming air pressure changes its angle as well. Turning can increase front lift, canceling much of the downforce, and it was an issue on the original Chargers trying to turn at speeds in excess of 120mph to have the front end so squared off at the edges with an open air dam going the entire width of the car. With the new design, all the air travels back up over the hood, since most of the air pressure exits underneath the R-wing, but another issue with the full width grille was high pressure air hitting the sides of the opening and pointing the car straight again, which this doesn't seem to address. I wonder if the cornering lift issue is still present in some form since the opening is largely the same shape.
The 1999 Charger Concept doesn't have quite same front end, even if the principle is the same. For one, air goes directly over the headlights and around the car, instead of there being a vertical bar over them like the new one where the air can trap.
