Front wing?

It appears to be a flow-thru divergent hood duct at a minimum.

We would be calling it a wing if it were at the rear of the car and in the flow, no question about it.

Front wing, integrated into the bonnet, improves air flow by reducing turbulence over the rest of the body – important for increasing EV range

•Air ducts behind the front wheels allow air to exit the wheelhouses and contribute to a more laminar flow around the side of the car

•Air ducts in front of- and behind the rear wheels contribute to brake cooling as well as wheelhouse depressurisation

Interesting step in the rear roof line/rear window area 3rd brake light.
