i can't remember if was alvaro parente or someone else, but in an interview before the 2011 24hours of spa, he said that the mp4-12c and the sls gt3 were the cars with more downforce on the front, so I think that the splitter in the pic has been done bigger just to balance the car once equipped with that higher and maybe wider giant rear wing. 2012 shown that the mp4-12c is extremely competitive in the hands of great drivers and teams! the main problem remains always the same: reliability of the engine.
Speaking about GT3, i hope that the 2013 458 GT3 will use a more conventional rear wing and not that so IMHO ugly one.
