Like the ground effects, keep the wing. Not that radical a departure form the other version though. One thing it does point out, is that they really took out the "hockey stick" (as described by C & D) line on the lower part of the body... #epicfacepalm at the designers. ***sigh***

Aero work isn't going to fix snap oversteer (not even that ridiculous 1 ton of downforce wing), and seeing that this car is likely to be "tuning friendly" it's a point of modification that you wouldn't want to be messed with so easily. It's probably just a slightly hopped up version or a body kit. The UK mags seem to be convinced that the car will have more than one trim on debut
