Active cooling flaps - how do they work?

[bb1]

Does anyone knows how active cooling flags on the front bumper works ?
Seems to be open all the time, but maybe only changes while driving ?

I read somewhere that they are always open when parked to prevent them from freezing in place in a shut position. You would think that in freezing conditions there would be little need for cooling, but what do I know.

i've seen them moving in one of the many videos out there...but for the most part, they seem to be open a lot

Depends on various parameters- drive mode selected, coasting, demand driven cooking requirements, ambient and so on.

Normal mode would be closed to improve areo efficiency and open when in Sports Plus. For cooling of the battery

Pretty much all Porsches have this feature and for a number of years now.
