Because of the suspension architecture, a lot of GT class wide-body cars don't translate well to street versions. For the FR-S and BRZ, look how high the top of the tire line is on the GT300 versus the production versions. The GT300 is almost at the top of the hood.
Here's another example of a poor transition into street version. (disclaimer: I still adore the MKII TRD widebody, not bashing.)
