Look at the Lamborghini supercars (Diablo especially) They are massively wider at the back...
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I know some cars appear to have a wider rear track, when in fact, the track is the same as the
front, but the rear tyres are wider, making the overall width greater than the front.

Rorty,
Fair point but as I quailfied my bit about many other cars "at least appear much wider " I was aware of the optical illusion and wider
tyre effect. The diablo was one which I was pretty certain was actually much wider at the back as I remember jeremy clarkson moaning about it on Top
Gear. All you can see in the side mirrors is the big fat ar$e of the car! Lovely!! 
Here are the figures I found on the web which show a 4 inch difference:
Wheelbase : 2650 mm (104 in)
Overall length : 4460 mm (175.6 in)
Overall width : 2040 mm (80.3 in)
Overall height : 1105 mm (43.5 in)
Front track : 1540 mm (60.6 in)
Rear track : 1640 mm (64.6 in)
Ground clear. : 115 mm (4.5 in), after 1993 127 mm (5.0 inch)
Front overhang : 930 mm (36.6 in)
Rear overhang : 880 mm (34.6 in)
Weight : 1576 kg (3474 Lbs)
Distribution : 41/59 % front / rear

Cheers,
Craig.
