    Aerodynamics that were hard because the car was already so good

    For the minor change, the planning side asked for the single chrome bar at the front to be changed to refresh the look, and the design was considered together with that. He worked with the aerodynamics team to make the aerodynamics better than before the update, but recalls that it was difficult because the car was already very good to begin with. Even so, they removed the oval groove in the front bumper to make airflow separation a little smoother, and tuned the rear spoiler's length and angle bit by bit in the wind tunnel.
