Default pan car body question

hi folks,
why does 1/12 scale pan car body has a large opening in the back of it?

i notice all of the twelve scale body has a wedge shape that contour all the way to the back of the car and then raised up real high, and leaving the rest of the rear end exposed where you can see all the axle wheels and motor.

is there a purpose to having this large opening this way?
how does it affect the dynamics and handling of the car with this large opening?

it could have curved down instead to have the rear end covered up and use a pair of stand off for a separate wing, but since it is design this way there must be a purpose for this large opening and i highly doubt its cost reason.

i'm looking to use one of those hpi body on a world gt chassis and i wanted to know if this large opening has a positive effect on body dynamic and handling charateristic, so i can plan ahead on how to cut the body.

thanks
