Iīm trying hard to sober up and not start a heavy modification before i have the car running in standard shape. -Itīs hard though...
When the car is street-ready I can make a cardboard prototype for the Kamm-back and meassure the difference in fuel consumption. I have a similar "longnose" V4 for family car but I donīt want to lower itīs "WAF" by strange mods. Itīs better to wait until I have my personal experiment vehicle.

But a sober thinking doesnīt stop me from dreaming:

This looks really nice! The sloping back is 15 degrees and the final area is a lot less than 50% of the maximum projected area. One problem with this design is where (and if) to put the rear window(s). My dogs wonīt like the size of whatīs needed to get a proper view on a sunny day, but they will definitely like the extra space!
