That is a very specific part of the Mercedes Boxfish blue prototype and the boxfish itself. On their computer flow models, it seems to be starting the flow off in unexpected ways. On my admittedly flawed tuft testing on the quarter scale model, it "sends" the air sideways (MUTE your sound unless you want to hear the din of FIVE leaf blowers on high!):
