The street version has to get by without any NACA ducts, but there is no shortage of other intentional holes in the body.

 

If you're referring to the 3 vertical "holes" on the door - those are LED lights used in the ALMS racing series to denote class & position.

No, I'm referring to the two forward facing inlets on the side of the car, which are part of the "street" version design, evolving from the Dinos, thorugh the 308/328 to the 360, close to the 430's.

I know they are called NACA ducts (from the NASA's earlier incarnation -- National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics), and have always found them strangely appealing. I first recall seeing them on aircraft in the early 1950s, but I'm sure they predate that by a few years.
