These features include a drop - down front wind spoiler and grille and wheel shutters that automatically engage at highway speeds to improve
airflow around the vehicle.
The canards have been designed to improve
airflow around the vehicle and generate a high level of downforce, while at the same time, direct air around the wheelhouse to improve the aerodynamics.
Aerodynamics is becoming increasingly important as a development discipline as, in addition to being crucial with respect to safety, an ideal
airflow around the vehicle has a major influence on fuel consumption (also see page 87) and noise levels.
All parts are effectively harmonized with each other and contribute to an optimized
airflow around the vehicle.
The front air deflector serves to vent the engine compartment, while wings over the rear wheels ensure optimum
airflow around the vehicle.
The bootlid incorporates a subtle but aerodynamically efficient spoiler; further underbody elements help maintain a smooth
airflow around the vehicle.
