Notice the general lack of structure forward of the strut towers. Torsional rigidity is between the wheel hubs (diagonally), so the stiffness of the structure outside the wheelbase doesn't usually contribute much. The only thing the the chassis has to do at the front and rear is hold body panels and absorb impact energy in a crash.
