In
car terminology, a wing is like a
spoiler, only bigger. The purpose of a wing is to provide
downforce, which makes the
car stick to the road better at
high speed. Wings are not at all necessary for normal
street or
highway driving, and in fact most cars with wings (usually
riceboys) look
garish and
cheap.
stupot sez: A wing (in the UK at least) is also the part of the car above the front wheel. From the front door to the headlight, wheel arch to hood. That's a wing.
