I have trouble understanding how this influences airflow. There must be a good reason though, because that narrow ducting has got to have some significant pressure drop, limiting the amount of air that actually makes it to the back.

*I'm not sure what to think since they refuse to tell us anything specific about it's performance.
*In one photo they show a smooth deck with zero excrescence.
*In the cutaway image,they show ductwork leading to a blown slot directly behind an exposed, modified, Gurney flap,with the air making a right-angled turn.
*Whatever performance the slot provides,it's not enough,so they add a small wing to augment it.

One thing that's mentioned about modern high performance cars,is,that any drag reduction allows smaller,lighter,radiators to be used,which improves the power to weight ratio.
