Well I don't really know the answer, but I'd like to point out a couple of things by way of example:
1. The VW L1 had tandem seating for two, I think, and it used a complete body out over the wheels.
2. The VW XL1 had side by side seating and also had complete body out over the wheels.
3. The Aptera had side by side seating and had separate fender fairings, apparently to cut down on the A part of CdA.
There is clearly a difference of opinion among designers who are or were trying to achieve the "ultimate."
I think 3 wheeler asks some interesting questions. Should be an interesting discussion.
