hahaha look at the bonnet lifting from the lack of air pressure.

(those with physics will know what I mean)

The bonnet lifts, but not because the car is flexing

I think you'll find it the bonnet flexing not the chassis.

If that's the case then I presume lift is being created because there is greater airflow over the top of the bonnet than within the engine bay thus creating low pressure and lift. If this is the reason then how is the fact that the car has 1200billion bhp relevant. Surely the consideration is simply the design/weight of the bonnet vs the airflow over it (i.e. the speed the car is travelling at).

your spot on Saxo Boy. The same principal is used to get aircraft off the ground i.e lower pressure on top of the wing compared to under it, hence the wing creates lift and the aircraft lifts off the ground.
