The kick up is so that some underbody airflow will always be maintained no matter how much the car pitches or if the pavement has undulations. The car also has a formula car like high nose. The high nose gives more room for a bigger splitter and also gives more stagnation area over the splitter for more front downforce.

great read! I'd always wondered why I saw more cars with the swan neck mounting for the wing. 10% improvement is pretty awesome. only tuner car I've seen it with is the evasive brz.
