How could they make such nice lines then destroy it with that tailpipe?
Those seats just cry….back pain…..

I think its a Ferrari rule - V12's must have quatro pipes.
That appears to be a non-adjustable seatback on those! Maybe it just rocks for adjustment? Also, the wheel on these tips forward, feels like a bus. (Sat in one in a shop as a teenager)

The tailpipe extensions were called "snaps' which I always thought had something to do with the clamp attachment, but it has to do with race speed airflow and exhaust extraction out the end.

SNAP = Scarico Negativo Aria Pressione or “negative exhaust air pressure.”
"One important detail of the SNAP installation on the GTO is the noticeable distance they protrude from the rear of the car. SNAP did compromise its design in one area, which was their choice to use lateral vents without any protruding air scoops. This reduces their efficiency at low speeds and makes it critical that the SNAP is not shrouded by the coachwork, and as fully out in the air stream as possible. In a road car this could be an aesthetic problem, but the rear design of the GTO lent itself well to this requirement."
