Mazda patents rear wing mechanism
Mazda has filed two patents concerning an auto-deploying/adjusting rear wing, One is about the wing mech itself and the other about the way the wing fits in a pocket/groove of the taillights

I recall some supercars(McLaren?) already have something like this.

Also, that tail lamp... I almost thought it was like an RX-Vision until I saw the last image.
