A splitter system for a vehicle includes a splitter body having a first splitter body. The vehicle includes a vehicle body arranged along a longitudinal body axis and having a first vehicle body end configured to face oncoming ambient airflow. The splitter body is moveably mounted at the first vehicle body end and generates an aerodynamic downforce on the first vehicle body end when the vehicle is in motion. The splitter system also includes a mechanism configured to selectively translate the splitter body along the longitudinal body axis away from the first vehicle body end into the incident airflow and toward the first vehicle body end out of the incident airflow. The translation of the splitter body by the mechanism in turn adjusts the aerodynamic downforce generated by the splitter body on the first vehicle body end.
