In terms of design I like the addition of the vents over the engine bay area, but i'm having mixed feelings of the missing sideblade. Did a quick render on how it would look like with a partial sideblade, I think it would have been difficult, but still cooler and have more a distinctive relation to the coupe.

In my mind I would have thought it would have formed a 'bridge' over the back of the car, going through those vents, as you can see, there are already lines there to enable this, but as I have not seen this car in the flesh/metal, how feasible it will be is another story altogether. @r8ftw

I absolutely love the mashup with the coupe vents. That does a few things for me. One, I think the added boldness you spoke of is really needed to make a supercar statement and, two, I think that without the coupe's vents it looks too long and out of proper proportion from front to back. I love those hood louvres though, too. Great review and great website. I absolutely love the mashup with the coupe vents. That does a few things for me.

I have a vague hunch they don't fit very well, and that's the reason they were ditched from the roadster.

It looks cool either way though. Actually i think it looks better without the side blade…but that’s just me lol. It looks cool either way though.
