Abstract
A variable spoiler device may include a spoiler panel, which closely contacts a rear bumper in a retracted state, to perform a rear bumper function, and protrudes downwards from the rear bumper in a protruded state, to perform a spoiler function. Link mechanisms, which enable retraction and protrusion operations of the spoiler panel, continuously secure support force withstanding wind pressure in a protruded state of the spoiler panel.
