It had to have a fat & wide rear because of cooling issues. This car especially has a lot more issues with heating. Some of the standard methods of testing & analysis had to be revised to make the results "green", or else everything would be "red" during review meetings. Pretty much any plastic used under the trunk has a recrystallization temp at about 70 C. Now good luck with trying to maintain < 70 deg at heat-soak conditions!
