Good picture of the rear diffuser and why no center-exit exhaust
The black elements at the rear of the car are often hard to really get a good look at. This picture shows the shape of the center diffuser very well. You can see the center element is thicker and the profile is key to creating the low pressure area to speed air flow under the car. You can’t have that shape with the center exit exhaust unless you move the exhaust tips up high in the license plate area. If you did that, you’d have no rear trunk and no place for the targa panel.
That looks dumb...and the average owner would get exhaust dust on their crotch when leaning into the trunk. I like the exhaust tips right where they are.

Exactly. We DON'T want the dumb Ford GT exhaust placement, which really looks like a pig's face.

Cars that have high exhausts like this run the risk of burning unsuspecting passers-by and even owners who forget. This is one reason why McLaren lowered the exhausts in their 570S and GT series. 600LT (or whatever it is called, has the exhaust exiting from the engine cover, high-up.

Wouldn't have to worry about that. With the exhaust exiting that way there wouldn't be a trunk to lean into.
