It looks as though it was well built. I don't see any Bondo or even fiberglass.

Actually a closer comparison would be drag reducing winglets on turbojet airliners and the Alfa Romeo BAT cars.

Yes, wingtip vortices. The fighter in the picture posted show it clearly. The second picture I posted is from wake turbulence.
Sadly, there are no wind tunnel pics of the BAT cars. 
Such a pity...
