Air under the car is bad most of the time, as most are not it's designed for it.
There are exceptions to every rule, and that is where the fun is.

The reason Hucho published that image was to demonstrate that this 'ideal' nose 'flowed' no better than the production 1974 VW Golf/Rabbit.
The caveat is that in crosswind,which is where we do most of our driving,the ideal nose would have the advantage,especially with plan view radius'ing.
From later research,it appears that there is a distinct advantage to cutting as much airflow off as possible to the underside.Even with a perfect belly pan.
