I have a feeling that those AWE foilers (while very helpful with buffeting) probably disturb the laminar air flow enough to negatively impact the air resistance figure (and consequently fuel economy by some small amount) of the car. If not, they should totally be stock.

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 still see the big block 3rd brake light in this zoomed in display of the new 992.

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

Wasn't the C4S there the one jumping into nostalgia to be like the old 930, 964, and 993?

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