Notice a trend? Front end design

Aston Martin, Mercedes Benz, Porsche, and Lamborghini have something in common. Pucker up front lip. Now it maybe the new “it” design or it is actually an aerodynamic feature.  As seen on very subtly on Ferrari F12. See for yourself and write your thoughts below.  It must be some type of aerodynamic discovery that improve airflow or something.  If you recall, the Ferrari 360 had the design this way without the lower splitter.  Narrow in the middle for aerodynamic and side vents effect aerodynamic and cooling efficiency.  Scroll down for pictures of the cars mentioned.

Look at the middle of the front bumper.  Examples below.
