Looks like that panel comes up a bit there to smooth out the airflow.This is an interesting pic. Is it an optical illusion or is there some sort of cover on the rear diff
Great find!Looks like that panel comes up a bit there to smooth out the airflow.
I see why the article notes that the strakes mentioned in this thread likely depend on other portions of underbody aero now seeing this pic.
They will work on their own but yeah having all the close out panels will be better as you will effectively create a flat floor design. What all of this does is sucking the car to the road creating more downforce and in that way increasing grip mostly cornering. It was obvious from the first S650's what they are trying to do with the Aero of the car and such small improvements make a huge difference on how the car behaves on track. Which is why the Dark Horse lap times are so impressive.
That added panel under the rear tire well by the rear bumper cover was most likely added because the S550 collects a TON of debris into the rear bumper cover.Looks like that panel comes up a bit there to smooth out the airflow.

I have not been able to find an aftermarket one. Tomorrow we are going to throw the car on the lift and see how difficult it would be to fabricate one. There are obviously some benefits there.
