Just putting down the number that corresponds with your guess would be good.

Before reading further in the thread, guessing #2, and potentially #1.

Post read: Having no idea that they left the bottom basically flat, makes sense all around to me.
The Cambridge car crashing also makes a lot of sense. A crosswind against that profile at speed clearly lifted the rear while creating significant yaw force.
I think one way to address that issue without actually changing the form of the car would be to have 4-wheel steering, allowing the car to crab down the road dynamically with wind gusts. That would obviously only work to a point and is probably completely impractical in terms of lane keeping though.
