Futch:
Good point. Fuel consumption is now also a top priority for constructors. Next generation of super cars lead the way with active front aero. Active rear aero has been around for years, lead by Porsche naturally.
I have no doubt the future Ferrari super car will be fabulous, but I've always doubted their official numbers, especially when it comes to downforce.
Yes;) i have read several books about aero, written by Helmut Flegl (porsche engineer, designer of turboed 917s) and Josef Katz. Road car aero is not a such a BS and Flegl shows it on 911 example;) comparing it to race cars. Can send pdf.
Ferrari marketing office makes very optimistic data. There must be the place in the world for optimists.
