My analysis of the "Rush":

1. Leaves a sizable hole in the air with that big boxy rear end.

2. May be inducing lift at the front with the front chin spoiler section.

3. The roof spoon dimple might be Porsche 917 inspired. I want to think the detachment of air at the high point creates a vortex that is to their advantage somehow. I want to think it is that thought out and not a remnant of picking up a wet clay model and leaving a big thumb print in the roof then deciding it "looks good" and we don't have time to fix it before the teacher gets here.

I do like that it is different from so many other entries, and that roof canopy may have application in pick-up truck design, just to say something nice.
