What's with the plumes?

[Dutch]

Today Fisker's latest newsletter landed in the mailbox.

There were links to some filmclips of a Fisker Karma in action, one of which I had already seen on the new website. But I noticed something peculiar in the second clip: plumes of waterspray coming out of the wheel-openings at high speed, all through the clip. I have never seen this before on any other car (but maybe I didn't look well). Could it be that the Karma has such a design (hood, wheel arches, wheels) that it creates these plumes?

They look pretty cool!

Hmm, that is a sharp observation!

Seems like this must be a result of the design.
