A very good example of a 4 wheeled car that is designed for low weight, great aerodynamics, drivetrain efficiency, and might I say has a reduced rear track is the VW L1 series of cars. In fact these are my absolute favorite 4 wheeled cars its to bad we will not see them on the roads anytime soon here in the states. Even if they did manage to get them here I don't think I would want to see the price tag LOL!

So in the meantime we just do our own versions like the Dolphin, XR3, Vortex and etc.. :-)

No matter if its with a 4 wheeled car with a reduced rear track or a 3 wheeled version it would be a step in the right direction.
