I have seen more images about citroen C-Sportloungue and the Lotus "circuit car", and I have noticed the way in which the planners they have decided to isolate the front wheels aerodynamically.

about the lotus, from
http://www.gglotus.org/ggrace/circuitcar/circuitcar.htm
You can read:
"#
Aerodynamics
# Flat bottom with front aero splitter and rear diffuser
# Aerodynamically designed body shape with minimal drag and frontal area
# Single plane rear wing, high downforce, carbon composite, dual element rear wing (optional)"
and about the citroen from:

You can read this one:
"Optimised aerodynamic design
Special attention has been paid to the aerodynamic, flowing lines - strong Citroën values. The drag coefficient is 0.26 and rear lift 0.02. In addition to styling and volume that enhance air penetration, various technological features contribute to that result:
- air ducts on both sides of the front bumper. They produce an air flow through the front wheel arches, creating a virtual fairing.
- an electro-mechanical system at the rear of the roof. It consists of micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMs), which create a virtual airfoil by propelling jets of air and substantially improve the vehicle's drag and stability at high speeds.
- a reverse mobile airfoil, under the structure at the rear of the vehicle. This cylinder-activated reverse airfoil improves lift and enhances vehicle stability at high speeds. It has three positions:
- a "neutral" position, integrated with the rear styling, when the vehicle is stationary or in the city,
- a position adopted at a cruising speed of above 90 kph that optimises the drag coefficient and lift,
- a position activated during emergency braking to increase negative lift by adding support and stabilising the vehicle.
- the smooth subframe improves both drag and positive lift by optimising air flow under the vehicle.
This capacity to penetrate the air enhances the C SportLounge's efficient, dynamic handling, performance and environmental-friendliness."
Now, second you, this system in order to guide the air around the wheels is better or worse to the classics flow shunters?
for examples this?
It is possible, to install this particular system of air guide?
