A vehicle with an improved front aerodynamic characteristic includes a front exterior member disposed on a front surface of a vehicle body of the vehicle. The front exterior member includes a front inlet port, a funnel member, and a specially processed surface. The front inlet port is formed in the front exterior member. The front inlet port is configured to draw in an airflow in front of the front exterior member. The funnel member is formed around the front inlet port. The specially processed surface is formed on an inner surface of the funnel member, and has recesses that are arrayed.

AERODYNAMIC REAR FENCES FOR VEHICLES

Rear fences and a system for deploying said rear fences on a vehicle are described. The rear fences are disposed inboard of and spaced apart from the rear pillars. The rear fences may be folded against the rear panel of the vehicle when retracted and are rotated to a central position in a deployed position. The system includes a deployment control system including controller logic having at least one processor and a memory storing instructions for implementing deployment and retraction of rear fences on a vehicle.

Active front deflector-flat panel

An active front deflector assembly for a vehicle capable of moving between an extended position and a retracted position or any position there between. The active front deflector assembly has a cross member for attaching to an underbody of a vehicle. The frame member also includes a plurality of slip joint connections for connecting to the underbody of the vehicle. The cross member is a fixed link of an actuator link assembly that has an actuator, drive link, floating link and a blade.
