Efficient aero shape asks for the rear to be narrower than the front.

If the rear wheels are enclosed in the body leaving only a flat panel, it's even better.

But still, if there is handling performance required, you don't want your vehicle to have a triangular shape wheel base.
I might be wrong but I feel if you have a narrower rear track, some handling performance can be found back with a longer wheel base.

What's the good angle for the sides, 20° ?
