Yes, even Hucho's example of Schenkel's rear spoiler is a bit odd.
Originally the car had no front lift.
With 17.8mm of spoiler height they achieved the drag minimum, while adding some rear downforce, however it also introduced front lift. With increasing spoiler height the downforce continues to climb, however with increasing drag and front lift, up to a point.
