Disagree on both points.
The grill design enabled M racing to improve both professionally as with the GT3 - keep in mind the homologation process (and it has been quite successful) - and in amateur track days. It is cool - pun intended - to see the effectiveness on water temp with the big grille. And oil temp management.
Secondly, sales determines every success, not how you feel about the design, at least in a mass produced car with no real production constraint like a 1M or M2CS or M5CS. Sales are objective measures.
If it “didn’t work,” then they would have changed it. They didn’t in the LCI. Could it look better? Yes - so a lot of owners modify. The GT3 looks incredible.
