Noobie here, having dropped a deposit with Cardiff UK Porsche Centre yesterday.
Apologies if this has been covered here before but I’m curious about the air inlet design.
Particularly, how air flow is intended to interplay with the alloy wheel and brakes. I read that it’s to aid aerodynamics….but also that flat (or closed “disc” alloys) create less drag. Is this all meant to come together somehow with the design of this vent? Is the car optimised for flat (solid?) alloys? Or perhaps the scoop design is intended to lessen drag on the popular (more “fashionable”) open style rims?
