In addition, the bottoms of the sides are characterised by a wrap - around splitter made of visual carbon that is a very
flat aerodynamic element derived from motorsport.

Detailed
aerodynamic engineering results in
elements such as a
flat underbody, a diffuser and a speed - controlled rear wing, which allows precise vehicle response at all vehicle speeds, thus creating unity between driver and machine.
The small frontal area with no windscreen is combined with
flat, unsculptured sides with no air intakes, for minimal drag; and a deep front splitter and a large rear wing (single plane as standard and dual
element as an option) and a rear diffuser to attain maximum
aerodynamic downforce.
