Yep, or also a Porsche 924, same difference.

Those intake ports might go under Aerodynamic Oddities.

The front more or less represented the style of the times. And considering the most commonly owned auto brand among designers is Porsche, I see more 924.

The Porsche 924 Turbo went on sale in the U.S. in 1980 to critical acclaim.

Though aerodynamics was not a major concern in the early Seventies, the 924’s coefficient of drag (Cd) was a claimed 0.36, then among the lowest in the world for production cars.
The 924 was a very influential car, and saved Porsche.

In all, the 924 was distinctive and influential. Its nose, for instance, was aped by the Mazda RX-7 of 1978, and the new-for-’84 Chrysler Laser/Dodge Daytona coupes were unabashedly cut from the 924 pattern (as their G-24 project code suggested).
