I could see how they are lower drag, instead of a brick wall like most radiator grills, it is swept back slightly. But where does the air exit?
They're behind the front tires,the 'gill' outlets.John Shinella's team measured a drag increase with them at the Lockheed Marietta Tunnel.They didn't add significant drag,but were nowhere close to what Morelli came up with.And to be fair,Morelli had a lot of design latitude.
