Here you can see that a diffuser isn't even possible
With the engine in front,the diffuser IS possible,and it can begin very 'early' on the underbody,allowing the lowest drag version
Here,whatever is under the pan,it won't allow the diffuser to begin as early
With the race car,there will be a point where the hard points clearance will just allow the diffuser to begin.Then it's a matter of what you want,rear downforce,or low drag.
Some current supercars (Bugatti and Ferrari),have active flaps which 'close' the diffuser for straightaways,and 'open' them for corners.
Here,you can see the 'shiny' diffuser flaps of the Ferrari LaFerrari
