Does the latest Hucho book have any updated or better information on optimum car nose shapes? Tail shapes?

For example, his Fourth Edition, page 158, has drawings and graphs on optimized nose shapes, relative height of stagnation point, etc.

I'm curious if the newer edition addresses that, and especially if the planform (as seen from above) shape is considered. Round, elliptical, etc. shape is optimum?

The latest Porsche cars such as Carrera GT have elliptical planform, and I wonder if Hucho or any other good source adresses this.

Thoughts, cites, and especially pictures or exhibits posted here from such sources would be much appreciated!
