One of the rules that Porsche designers/engineers live by is form follows function. In the case of this whale tail, what function does it provide? Certainly not cooling or air flow, maybe some down force. And why the vents? It is not rear engined or air cooled.

Sometimes less is more and in this case way less would make more sense.

Now, add turbo or supercharging with the plumbing and intercoolers where the trunk is . . . and now you have a reason for the vents and tail.
