to accelerate air under the car in front of the diffuser, and raise the air pressure behind it, lessening the car's wake. Other aerodynamic components that can be found on the underside to improve downforce and/or reduce drag, include splitters and vortex generators.

Some cars, such as the DeltaWing, do not have wings, and generate all of their downforce through their body.
