Would be good to see some smoke/wind tunnel shots of radiator performance.
I know the theory is there, how can we quantify potential gains?
Are we looking at 1-2%, or is it 5-10% or other, those details govern the effort to overcome engineering problems in the design application.
Increasing grill block area at front is likely in the order of maybe an additional 1% gain, taking heat and additional air out from under vehicle may also help a bit, say 0.5%. but what is impact at rear?
I don't know how to calculate potential gains there.

Me either :/ I get the idea, and I doubt Lexus would invest in such a system on such an advanced car, but I also don't know how to quantify it. I searched, too, for the wind tunnel, but didn't find anything. Makes sense with such a beautiful car, but I also did not do too comprehensive of a search. I look forward to following any more developments in this, although it will most likely never apply to me.
