The "Duck-bill" butt looks cool. Can you get away with the duck-bill shape from an aero standpoint?

I didn't expect that one !
Did you see the little cartoon face on the car below the first sketch ?
That is the first thing that started going through my mind ( " Man this thing looks like it should have a eyes stuck on there " )
Quite wierd looking for sure !
I was just brain storming. A problem that you would have with something like that would be where to put the taillights abnd the plates.
I came up with the idea because I'd like to put a boat tail on my car, but have it compact. I would love to have one like Basjoos, but I was wondering if you could just create two smaller boattails and create two smooth wakes like a catamarand.
If you folks remember, I have the same car as Basjoos.
I really admire all that he has done. What an awesome machine he has from an aero standpoint.
I wonder if the stagnation in the center area ( the blue arrows )would be smoother than just a regular Kamm back.
As far as the inspiration - I just did what looks smooth. It just goes to show how that good aero has a lot in common in different cars.
After I did the image, I started noticing how the second image down even looks a lot like the tail end of the Probe V.
