Where does the Zonda's engine get its air from?

Hey, you know how every car has a primary air intake, like the Enzo uses its side intakes for air, the Diablo uses the rear intakes, the MC12 uses the snorkel, the McLaren F1 uses its roof intake, the F50 uses the intakes in front of the rear wheels. I was looking at the Zonda's engine, and in some pics it looks like it gets its air from the lower rear intakes in front of the rear wheels like the F50



then in other pics it looks like it uses the intake on top of the suspension



which one does it use?

the only reason why i posted it here is because the Zonda forum is like a dead forum

10seconds in photoshop, and you can see the intakes clearly run down.
But you will need a differnt angle if you want to know where they go from there.

yea it almost looks as if they run down to the floor of the car lol, they definetly go down to the rear intakes because theres no other intake nearby for air.
