A wide front splitter and side skirts also work to reduce lift, while the front bumper has been shaped to minimize
air turbulence around the front wheels.
Air vents on the head restraints serve to compensate for
the air turbulence around the occupant's neck.
The aggressive front bumper is shaped to inhibit
air turbulence around the front wheels, with new air curtains at the edges (you can see through the holes), a wide carbon - effect front splitter and side skirts that manage airflow and create downforce.
A wide front splitter and deep side skirts also manage airflow and reduce lift, while the front bumper has been shaped specifically to inhibit
air turbulence around the front wheels, enhancing high - speed stability and reducing lift forces.
Moreover, measures like Alternator Management System help improve fuel efficiency while the First - in Segment Wheel Air Curtains have been added to ensure minimised
air turbulence around the wheel area resulting lower Cd (Coefficient of Drag), low NVH, increased fuel efficiency and stability of the car at high speed.

air to flow smoothly all the way
around the ball, minimizing the size of the turbulent wake and the drag — a phenomenon known as the drag crisis.

**** There are at least 2 critical dangers for flyers created by these things: 1)
air turbulence — generated by a sea of 50 - 60m blades with their outer tips travelling at
around 400km / h — interfering with the ability of the pilot to control their kite (see our post here); and 2) slamming into them ---LSB-...]
