Of course it won't look like this but it will retain shorter overhangs which really make Supercars much more drivable on the street. In P 4/5 we accomplished this by curving up the front which kills aero but used wing-lets to fix downforce. That solution doesn't meet new pedestrian impact standards so using audio to cancel out air flow bobbles under the car will allow shorter front overhangs. (Acoustic system same idea as noise cancellation technology)

The Enzo and P 4/5 may be the last of the "V 12 Monsters".
furthermore, he said 800 hp TT v8 + 1000 kg....
