Default side view if LFA

question on the side view of the LFA. What function are the vents in front of the rear wheel, and the one by the window above the rear wheel. Down force and brake cooling?

Provide air for the rear-mounted radiators.

Here is a link to a few pics of an LFA without the body panels.

I agree with Rolla that the upper vent (the wave) feeds a rear radiator.

I believe the vent in between the door and the wheel well provides brake cooling (hard to sort out from the picture).

neat, thanks for the pics and link. Wife was looking at pictures of the car and asking if they were for looks or had a real function. Also do both doors have a keyhole?

Yes both doors do have a keyhole.
