A vehicle including a vehicle body and a diffuser configured to alter aerodynamic characteristics of the vehicle mounted to the vehicle body. The diffuser may include a housing attached to the vehicle bod and a fabric panel attached to the housing that is configured to move between a stowed position located within the housing and a deployed position where the fabric panel extends outward from the housing and relative to the vehicle body, where the fabric panel alters the aerodynamic characteristics of the vehicle when in the deployed position. At least one strut is configured to support the fabric panel when the fabric panel is in the deployed position and be stowed with the fabric panel in the housing when the fabric panel is in the stowed position.
