In the present study aerodynamic tests were performed by using Solidworks Flow Simulation software (CFD) in 2 different designs of conventional cars, implementing a spoiler in the back of the car to reduce the drag and lift coefficients that occur through the movement of the air regardless of the design in the back of the car and improve aerodynamics. Analyzing the results it is obtained that the aerodynamics of the car is improved when a spoiler is placed to reduce the drag and lift forces.
