It's real, if you look at the airbox and sidepods it's exactly like the pics posted earlier in the thread

They've stuck with a more traditional center line cooling outlet at the rear, rather than make use of the cooling gills.

Other than the pull-rod front, this does appear to be fairly conservative on the face of it, but who knows if that's a bad thing?

No strakes under the car yet (?) At least not in the render, it's kinda blurry but the tunnels seem empty
