"A Gurney is an aerodynamic component and functions as a tear-off edge. The Gurney was so-called after a former Formula 1 driver. "
The Gurney flap increases the downforce of a wing while producing very little extra drag.
Maybe helps to reduce rear-end lift on trunk lids of street cars.
Dan Gurney is an American racing hero, the first of only three drivers to win races in F1, Indy Car, Sports Cars, and NASCAR. (The others being Mario Andretti and Juan Pablo Montoya.)
And he was the first driver (together with A.J. Foyt at Le Mans) to spray champagne on the winners' podium.
Just FYI.
