It's a very interesting car. Definitely a concept/prototype car. Not fully developed and sole purpose is to provide guidance and understanding for future production vehicle designs.

I'm wondering if the little black area below the integrated mirror on the profile, just ahead of the door is an air escape for the engine bay air? If it is, would that be good for aerodynamics, or would that disrupt the flow around the car?

I'm certainly not a fan of the front end looking like it hit a wall (aerodynamically and aesthetically, speaking).
