That means that the stock tires(17's) are 26.7 inches tall, which is 4 tenth of an inch taller than the current sedan.

The 225/50/18 fronts measure 26.9 inches(even taller), whereas the 245/45/18's are 26.7 inches tall. So the overall gearing is a bit taller. That also means that with the sports tires, the front are 2 tenths taller than the rear. I wonder if that's visually apparent in person.

Do you have the gear ratios and final drive ratios?

I don't think that's an air duct, more than likely the radar unit for the Intelligent Cruise Control.

That means that with a redline of 7500, a sports model equipped with 245/45/18's will have the following top speeds:

Gear - 5AT - 6MT
1 - 42 - 42.5
2 - 68.5 - 69.4
3 - 105.5 - 99.3
4 - 161.3 - 126.9
5 - 192.2 - 161.3
6 - NA - 203.1

That means that both models will be geared to reach 190mph, and the 6mt will be geared to exceed 200mph. Interesting.
