If I'm reading the Jalopnik link correctly, it sounds like it's like a Porsche Cayman, only 2 radiators at the front corners. The Z51 adds a single extra radiator to the right side. In the picture you can see the radiator is slightly tilted backwards but facing the front of the car head on, so it's gotta be pretty small.

I'm curious to see more info on the aerodynamics. They claim most of the air is being exhausted through the tiny slot right above the diffuser, which is pretty weird. The engine bay looks pretty tight but the side scoops are enormous, which gives me the sense they did that to make it look dramatic, since not a lot of air can make it through the engine bay and under the rear luggage compartment then finally through the tiny mesh over the diffuser...
