Actually...
The front of the car doesn't look very aerodynamic at all. Besides the enormous BMW like grill, the front of the car remains flat.
However, aerodynamics and power don't matter. What's the point of making the car all about aerodynamics and speed when it's so ugly that no one will buy it?

I'm not even that proficient when it comes to aerodynamics, but even I know that shape is NOT the best in terms of aerodynamic efficiency. Generally speaking a "tear-drop" exterior shape is regarded as being the most aerodynamically efficient.
That's not to say that you can't achieve a top speed in the 250mph range with the aerodynamics of a brick wall. All sorts of vehicles constantly try to set speed records on salt flats. I've seen trucks hit 250mph, but those things had well over 10,000 HP.

"The aerodynamic tuning is probably the most important thing from a super sportscar. Our technicians have spent a long time with the optimism."
See what happens when you listen to those voices in your head?
"Aww, come on Earl, ask her to say 'moose and squirrel'!"

And think about it this way, why ELSE would they make the car look like that?

The shape doesn't look aerodynamic to me either, but I've learned that in science what's intuitive isn't always how nature works. And aerodynamics isn't entirely about top speed, they also have to be concerned with high speed stability, downforce, etc.

that MUST be it.
