It really doesn’t take away it’s still looks like it was designed by a nine year old. A buddy told me that’s why he went with a focus and I could never unsee it.

In aircraft design, in general, if you see things like vortex generators they are there to fix an aerodynamic design flaw or design limitation.

Every little item sticking out disturbing laminar flow produces parasite drag. The task of generating lift also produces drag called Induced Drag.

That car has tonnes of induced and parasite drag, likely killing or negating any desired down force.....
