At all angles and details I have concluded; the front wheel coverings must be able to pivot and turn with the front wheels, otherwise this car can only run in a straight line.

In addition, I suspect the front radiator must discharge under the car, because I see no other vents, and with the front wheels block venting through the wheels wells (how the current 911/Boxster does it).
