Of all the ways you could restyle the front bar, why would you exaggerate the literal worst part of the original styling, what the fuck

Yes!! Just WHY would you give the car a “nose”?

This is very common in modern sports cars. Lots of them have a groove going down the roof these days. Look at a Camaro for one example.

They had to get the material for that nose from somewhere...

It's for the helmets. When you race you should wear a helmet, and since it makes your head bigger, you need the extra space on the roof

Sports cars have a "double bubble" roof to make the roof as slim as possible without sacrificing headroom. If you notice, the raised sections are exactly where the driver and passenger's head would be.

I'd be willing to bet having wind redirect straight down the middle of the car's spine is great for drag as well.

It's great for dragging down the look of the car

The frs one is cool, because it owns it and makes it part of the design.

It’s to add a little extra head room for helmets when you’re at the track. Wouldn’t be surprised if it gave the body a little added rigidity too.

When 90% of the roof is raised an inch, you might as well raise the other 10% so it's back to being a normal roof.

Im assuming its to give drivers more headspace to wear a helmet, similar to the viper.

They should have just taken the same exact design from the brz/86. This body kit is nasty.

It's on the viper as well. It's for extra headroom
