I don’t like the look of it. I’ll just look at the car from the front, from now on. The air brake is neat though.

I like the air brake function. Oh well. If I bought that car, however, I wouldn't be complaining.

So... it’s a Carrera GT with flying buttresses and 4 less cylinders. Gotcha.

(it doesn’t look good at all, QQ)

Wait, what? What’s my dislike towards the looks of the GT’s wing got to do with the Carrera GT.

Yeah, I think air brakes are cool too but man alive I hate moving rear wings like this and the LFA. They’re too small compared to rest of the car and look out of place to me.

In that the wing isn’t the entire width of the rear end, and only extends from the portion between the lights. It just doesn’t fit the cars proportions, is all.

Oh, yeah I agree and forgot that was the case with the GT. My immediate comparison was the LFA.

So long as it's functional, I have no qualm. Probably looks a lot better from the drivers seat anyway.

Eh, it’s active aero. It’s there for function. Being pretty is an afterthought. Kind of reminds me of the Carrera GT’s active aero. Sort of a blunt-force approach.

Remember, FORM follows FUNCTION - must be the rest of the body and undertray with diffusor are efficient enough to warrant just that size to do the job 100%, not more.

Weird, I was assuming it was going to just change pitch, like the laferrari. Clearly not.

I disagree.

I was hoping somebody wouldn’t mention the Crossfire, so thanks for that.

There is no such thing as too much downforce, sir.

AGREE - as long as it’s not the cause of too much drag, however.
