It does not surprise me that the top racing team, Scuderia Ferrari, is always looking for tip-of-the-spear technologies for winning advantages. F-1 has strictly banned ANY dynamic aero aids but Ferrari has not handcuffed their road going models. The shape-shifting ideas have already been implemented on the Ferrari 458 Italia. Look closely on the front intakes. There are 'aeroelastic' wings that adjust by altering attack angles, for less drag at higher speeds. Just a start.

Aftermarket 'active' split rear spoilers available, Aeromotions, for differential downforce (maybe rotational/roll torque?) on rear left/right corners. Now marry that with 'active' front corner canards, grill block, suspension lowering, etc...
