I'd consider that huge Ferrari indent vs the leading edge radii on largely regular wheelwell openings ala EV1 and Insight I two different things.


We know that a relatively small leading edge radius promotes good flow downstream.

Don't see that Ferrari wheelwell treatment on ANY aero cars, concept or otherwise, right? Not at Bonneville either. It looks to me like a greater flow disruption than a regular wheelwell.
