What if we take last year's super car, the Renault R27, and transform it’s sidepods? Imagine, the vertical fins no longer support the rear-view mirrors (like it was on the picture, large red arrow), making for a cleaner design and better airflow management towards the rear of the car. In addition the bottom edge of the sidepod's air inlets are much higher than before (smaller red arrow) to provide the radiators with cleaner airflow and reduce the effect of turbulence generated by the front axle and suspension.
In comparison to its predecessor, the new Renault's nosecone has been dramatically lowered and now features an additional bridge profile. While the front of the chassis has been minimized, the surface area of the wing's main profile has been increased. In addition the pillars, which connect the nose to this profile, have been dramatically inclined to an almost horizontal position to reduce drag and improve the quality of airflow passing over and underneath the front of the car.
