All the classic styling cues are present,
including uniquely shaped and profiled bumpers — that up front now use hydraulically operated elements that deploy above 75 mph to reduce lift at speed — wider sills underneath the doors, cooling ducts within the rear fenders and a prominent bi-plane rear wing that also extends out at 75 mph to counter the
aerodynamic changes taking place up front.
