Very cool video, Roland!
One thing I might mention (that your analyst might be unaware of) though, is that the wing, and sugar scoop spoiler were probably not added due to DeTomaso Inc. Sa. computerized aerodynamic modeling, but because similar excrescences appeared on competing supercars, and people thought they were really cool looking.
In fact the entire design of the car was made that way.
An excellent example of function following (good) form?

I’m sure he doesn’t know the history and development of all cars on the planet lol

But you can check out the other things on YouTube The company did…

I was just amazed that Pantera runs with the best in drag (without the wing)
