It's all show.
By definition, spoilers spoil something. That thing being spoiled is lift. This is generally accomplished by the use of drag via flow separation and form drag. Both of these are anti slippery.
Race cars usually overcome this drag with with pure horsepower when speed is the goal.
Aerodynamic purity is always sleek, continuous, and smooth.

Nice looking car BTW.
