The rear slope is 15 degrees, give or take a bit. Probably fine, and the smoke makes it look ok.

Looking at some of the pictures, I think it has 4 wheel steering. Like Frank, I think they would have produced a more narrow car by using articulated wheel covers in front, then they could have narrowed the back a bit more. The best template is a template of rotation. Currently the sides looka bit flat and the Kamm area is badly handled. It would be very interesting to see some smoke testing of the back area both plan and profile.
