Well, if that visor works anything like the artist illustration below, then apparently the air gets squeezed out to the sides.

And, if the front wheel fairings taper at the aft, there should be a small footprint there. A big bonus would be venting the wheel wells at that location like a race car.

As much as I want to get nit-picky about this design, I am hopeful they did their homework and it is not just a styling exercise.

In anycase this is a fresh looking approach.

Some well rounded edges/corners on that hood would have helped though.
