The rear of the 488 Challenge is similar to the 488 GTE race car that won the 2016 FIA World Endurance Championship.

The front bumper is specific to the 488 Challenge with a bigger splitter for more downforce, and inverted rakes for better air flow to the radiators.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
