OK, the big wheels can stay in the rendering....
Yes the reason that it creates more downforce is that it pulls more air out ahead of the tire and that air has to come from somewhere. The somewhere is under the nose and it lowers the pressure and creates more downforce. I was thinking that it is a bit of an odd detail that messes up what was a very pretty front end.....
And yes, the comment about the air extractor being too far back is probalby true, it is going to see high pressure from the windscreen (unless the windscreen is really raked back, and be less effective, plus it might dump a lot of hot air into the cockpit. Further forward where it can mix out with the free stream would be better...
Still it is darn good looking, to my mind better looking than the coupe, and I generally like coupes better...
