I have no doubt the intakes all serve a purpose, but air intakes can be designed many ways. The Ford GT has air intakes at base of the buttresses in back and runs up them to the engine I think. Doing this you can not really see the intakes.
I just think they could get air flow without showing everyone where the intakes are. The back end of the Corvette is where I would reduce visible intakes. The front (business end) looks OK with vents.
You mention the Honda and agree this is bad design to make it look cool but intakes are fake. In a way the Corvette which is a much more expensive car, has similar in your face intakes but they work. If one design is bad is the other?
Ford also wants a half million dollars for that car which is
The ones on the R aren't all functional, all the ones on the Corvette are.
One of the reasons Chevrolet is probably going with a MR layout is to do exactly what you suggest with the vents to make a better looking car. That won't cost a half million dollars. Would bet money on it being faster too.
The new Ford GT is a failboat and a half.
