I don't know about the science behind it, and I know that proper underbody aero is more functional than a big wing, but damn, is this cool. Batman's drift missile

Wings like that don't work sideways.

I was thinking that it may be shaped to provide lift, but hey. I don't really know.

I like it for the sheer absurdity of it. The whole concept is just ridiculous, but it's too awesome. I like when the style of the car rolls with it, functional or not.

Agreed. It's more of a chassis-mounted middle finger than anything else. I'd daily an S14 or FC with a massive wing just because it's berkeleying awesome.

The whole "no back bumper" thing is already wearing on me. Like that new baby-Challenger Rocket Bunny kit for the S14. It looks gorgeous, and then it just... STOPS with the car's ugly ass hanging out. Just to be an anti-fashion statement.

Sure they do, with enough angle of attack, reading the advertisement is easy.

No. I may not share the same enthusiasm for it. But there is no shame in liking it.

I think they are is the exit for the hot air from radiators and brakes on the outer side pods. If I am wrong, it might make for some spectacular night pictures of brake lights with glowing exhaust pipes in the middle.

Looks very functional and AWESOME!

What is that fan cooling though?

That's what I was thinking, but seems rather large for that. Otherwise Desmond is probably right.
