One of the most innovative new features appears to be the air tunnels. These replace the air ducts which on the original GT40's directed air over the engine. The large tunnels direct air straight thru the rear section.
From the pictures, these new air tunnels appear to direct air under wing like folds on the rear section. If my analysis is correct, these new tunnels according to Bernoulli's principle, would cause a negative lift on the car keeping it firmly placed on the road. Of course, this effect would only be effective at speeds probably exceeding 100 mph. Additionally, the air tunnels would likely reduce air resistance at high speeds!
