    The reason for the longer front may be crash protection. FFR does do crash protection in the engineering of their cars.

    If you work with the design at all you will realize that the headlights chosen dictate the arc, and length of the hood, including the overhang. The only way for the overhang to be less with these Camry headlights is to shove the lights back further into the wheel flare. It's too short of a distance already for my taste, but I'm not the head designer at FFR, so my opinion means squat.

    One more attempt to clean up the design, per my own personal tastes. It really is looking too much like a Nissan 350Z, but that's better than looking like a Viper, in my opinion.

    For reference, a blue Viper.
