less Horsepower, more torque dip. Priceless.

I'm confused.. vents in the front fenders, just behind the wheels to mitigate lift.. our cars aren't that fast...

They are obviously there to bleed off heat from the 2.4 turbo engine they are testing.

I did think that the extra vents = bigger engine... but I don't wish to raise my hopes.. so keeping/managing my expectations so I'm not disappointed when the facelift involves some blank vents and a yellow intake manifold.. oh, I hope the BRZ doesn't inherit the 'goofy' Toyota front lip!! BTW seen the new GRM Yaris.. it looks brilliant.. A real ball of fury.. |

You would be surprised how much air pressure is generated in the engine bay. With my ducted hood, when it is raining I can see the air disturbing the rain hitting the wind shield pretty significantly. I'd imagine there is quite a bit in the wheel wells too. Though how that translates in the real world is probably not very significant. |

The Kia Stinger has functional lower fender vents (even if they look like Pep Boy Specials).
But the Zupra doesn't. |

Some street cars do have functional fender vents. BMW (and others) use them for the reason you stated; "...to relieve built-up air pressure from inside the wheel arches which causes aerodynamic lift." |

Even the 86 14R60 had vented fenders.
