The "windows down wind buffeting" could be fixed entirely by gently reshaping the plastic triangles at the front of the door window to alter the wind flow around the cockpit - a la the AWE aftermarket piece and myriad DYI glue ons. I am astounded Porsche has not done this yet. It looks like they wont for the 992. I guess they assume everyone will get sunroofs to pop up.

The buffeting is a caused by air entering the cabin (due to the inside air being at lower pressure than outside) and then being expelled (when the air reaches a volume great enough for the inside pressure to be higher than the outside pressure). The frequency and resonance mainly affect the human ear. You can mitigate it by changing the interior volume- by having a passenger, or by popping the rear of a sunroof. So I would posit laminar flow would be improved by stopping the buffeting- et that it is improved by the little edge on the AWE triangle. But I seriously doubt there is likely to be any noticeable differential resistance or fuel consumption in any case.
PS My Macan has the same problem: both front windows down is starts at around 40 mph.

I think they're trying to pull some nostalgia into the 992.

Not sure the angle of that pic or whatever, but totally see Vette too.
