boat tails are never going to be main stream, mostly for parking reasons
most cars with good aero have some sort of boattail withing the cars lenght, most carmakers cleverly desguise it, but when you look at the true dimentions or from above, the difference between the front and back are often quite dramatic.

the fact remains the longer you can make a car the easier it is to get better aero.


here's my own car
