Ressurection
Quote:
Finally, the air that cools the engine is sucked in through the engine lid grille (just aft of the rear window), pushed through the engine's cooling system, and dumped out underneath the engine. The two flaps I mentioned help create a little bit of negative pressure under the engine, to help draw air more effectively through.

So it's helping to increase under car pressure and draw some air from the wake which may help reduce the wake. Huh. Interesting.
I find it hard to believe that the drag is greater with the fastback but we don't know the angle so perhaps it is more than the ideal of ~12-15 degrees
