On the R8, it is a little deceiving, the louvers are for the cooling air intake.
Déjà vu I was corrected the first time i posted that picture, was that you? I have a distinct memory of reading that decades ago. Maybe if I beat my head against a wall I can dislodge that.

As it turns out, I've been theorizing that I could use the engine cooling air as is being discussed, and place the air intakes at the top of the B-pillar to suck energy out of the vortexes that appear there. That would make the energy investment do triple duty.

Given that it was a bad example, do you have an opinion on the middle/periphery part?
