Lighter, Racier look?
For the 935 it would help the heat from the turbo escape.

Looks is all, and maybe a pound of weight reduction.

heat release, in the case of a turbo racer
and any trapped air in all cases there is hardly any weight reduction when drilling even a stock 74-89 rear aluminum bumper

Cooling.
The turbo/mufler area on race cars gets hot enough to bubble paint.

1. Heat extraction, especially on the turbo models
2. Looks cool and racy otherwise. |
