The rear lateral aeration of the mk4 really served? only for the look one, the brake and aerodynamic .
On that car it was so much lower. Take a look again at how high it is on the A90. Its just slightly below the wheel arch.

^ I think you may be right. It looks like its a strip to connect with the top portion of the door strip. All that could change by them replacing the lower side skirt and integrating a vent + putting a functional vent scoop on the door.

I think they'll make the front/rear bumpers + front fenders scoops functional. However, the doors may stay as is just for looks unless they are saving that for the debut by doing what I mentioned above.

The threshold of door seems to duplicate three jump it seems really strange.
we would say a hunt covered by another external hull estetique doublet can be in connection with the rear of the car would be crazy no?

Have you ever seen a black seal on the frame and not on the door at this location.
Would not there be an extraction hole for the current false wind?:hmm:

Just when I though just maybe since the lower side skirt could be changed lol

But the vent at the door(not the seal at the body) of the yellow looks like it can actually be replaced compared to concept!maybe the seal hides something?

wind noise isn't a big deal on a race car, plus weight savings :)

could also be to fix clearance as the door seal isn't all that thick on the upper portion when compared to the gap seen on the race car (with body seal removed).

That one definitely looks functional, but going back a few pages to the Goodwood car it definitely appears sealed up. Could be they made it functional just for the VLN car? Just shows though, even if they do come fake it should be easy enough to make them functional if desired.

Those are listed in realoem as "air inlet finisher". I coudnt find other parts to support this opening, meaning where this passage goes. But main category is under "decor"...

There are different parts for front brake cooling from bumper side opening to wheelwell under "air ducts"

Could be that since realoem lists only std models and those are gr supra spesific parts

To bad they couldn't get the ones on the door to be functional as well. :(
