Since skirts were banned, F1 has been using vortices to separate high and low pressure areas at the edge of the floorpan. I really want to believe mercedes and audi are that clever, but can't seem to find a vortex generator in that style online

While the dimples seem to be a dead end, vortices under the car aren't. Sealing the floor of the car without killing ground clearance is huge for a street car and should improve the efficiency of the undertray if you didn't go too overboard

I would go for something along what ferrari did with the 488 because it's simple to make. 6 is overboard and performance minded, but one for each side could be used to fence the skirt area and duct some of the engine bay air
