Advanced
I think this entire panel is fake. I noticed the rear deck area looks really flat and wide, I think the actual bodywork narrows towards the rear, more wasp-like than what is shown on the test cars.
If you look at the bottom in front of the rear wheel, it looks horrible. I think the whole rear fender is tacked on. The lines are all too basic and squared off, I think the line are gonna look very fluid, like a modern Mclaren.

LOL at the folks who keep saying the scoops don't stick out @Vettrocious

Semantics... the scoops flare out from the body at that point... they will look nothing like the mundane renders some folks have been floating around.

We could play yes they will,no they won’t if you’d like ...
It will burn a few hours till the reveal...

I’ll repeat,from the rear view,you will see taillights ,the side view mirrors,quad mufflers ...And no dumbo ear scoops sticking out.
The widest part from the rear,not including the side mirrors of course,will be the section above the rear tyres.
The Coke bottle effect on the rockers of this vehicle will hide the very subtle scoops .

Nobody is saying there will be dumbo ears... if you think the scoops on that car above are subtle then you need to look up the definition of the word. Those scoops clearly angle out relative to the body.
