I'm puzzled about the front diffuser. I'd expect it would be better to divert air away from the front rather than channel it in like this seems to do, but maybe it just functions like an air dam this way.
Then again, an air dam ahead of the mother of all belly pans?
Is it so good that the air better be directed under the center of the car than towards the wheel wells?

Do you have a reference for this sucking/blowing device? I've combed through Daimler's press releases and website information (
like this) and haven't seen any reference to it there or in the automotive press.
Here's a clearer illustration of the undertray, from Daimler:
The front doesn't look like anything special, aside from larger-than-typical airdams in front of the wheels.
