11 GIFs that shows how car aerodynamics work : (wind tunnel testing)

SLS AMG with rear spoiler deployed
Ferrari 458 Speciale
Pagani Zonda F
Volkswagen XL1
As the most fuel efficient car in the world, this car surely has a good aerodynamic profile.
Ford GT
Ferrari 458 by Novitec Rosso
Mercedes IAA Concept
What about a Dragster?
Last but not least, Formula 1 car!

So do you have any similar GIF? Becaue I’d love to see that.
Thanks guys for your attention!

The Eagle I-Thrust clearly set the benchmark for aerodynamics /s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmYC9zBseSw
I would’ve loved something much more nuanced, like the theory behind BMW’s current front grille (which the idea behind has been executed on various LMP cars in theory since the early 2000s), or hell, even that CFD gif of the the tyre developments made by Yokohama(?) meant to reduce drag.
Hell, even a CFD gif of a vortex generated by an endplate would be more fun than most of this list.
These are just boring centerline profiles to me.
I have a question:
how does this benefits drift cars?
or drift cars in general dont even need spoilers,splitter etc.
More down force prevents the car from spinning out as easily. As long as the rear tires have less traction than the front, the car will still drift
You feel your downforce crawling on your back (Props to anyone who notices the reference)
How animals feel in a wind tunnel
