A rear fairing system for a vehicle includes a roof foil on top of the vehicle roof and sidewall foils pivotally mounted to the vehicle sidewalls. The roof foil includes downwardly facing concavity and a roof foil curved convex upper surface extending laterally across the vehicle roof. A spring extends laterally across the vehicle roof in the downwardly facing concavity. A door foil extends aft of the roof foil with a curved convex upper surface continuing the roof foil curved convex upper surface. Cables extend from the vehicle rear doors to the sidewall foils adjacent the sidewall foil free edges. The cables are taut and strain the sidewall foils toward the vehicle rear doors with the vehicle rear doors closed.
