Anybody have a comment on that?

This is my first look at the car.Would like to see what's underneath.It looks like overkill for everything underneath.There must be a 'mechanical' explanation.Those guys certainly understand Frontal area.
With engineering drawings we could look for area-ruling/Whitcomb-waisting/Coke-bottling/sectional density.
The upper and lower body camber may require these dimensions to prevent pressure spikes and suction peaks.Don't know.
