I think Kach22i hit the nail on the head.That it was all about the 'look.'
I've not seen the belly of the Wildcat but suspect that it's a bottom breather as far as the cooling system goes(like Trans Am Firebird and Corvette),and that slot under the nose is for cooling airflow to the embedded inlet duct.So we might forgive the nose as is.
If it were designed for low-drag rather than 'bling' they might have reduced the rear track and given the body the 'raindrop' shape of the Impact/EV1,with plan taper of the body to match that of the greenhouse.This would start the boat-tailing at mid-door,leaving a significantly smaller wake.For its length,it would have fairly small booty.
