The airfoil and curved floor would produce lift, which would unload the tires for less rolling resistance, but the cornering would suffer. Here's an example of a car that has a curved bottom and flat top, for low-drag downforce; one of Luigi Colani's Bonneville cars.



There's a lot of fabrication work in those fenders, but hey — go for it.
