Good point, but I think there is a more of a focus in this forum on street going cars.
I think I see some influence of the speed record holders from Germany in the 1930's on that silhouette. I cannot deny that relationship and think you see it too, forward visibility is the only concern then/there.
Consider that previous profile, I found a car embracing the essence if not the direct form, as you can see the canopy is larger, pushed back, and certain ratio and proportion to the tires that we struggle with today - the packaging of the human body remains an issue.
