I do believe that a good part of the "extra" length (as well as width) is to create the safety cell for the driver with deformable structures around that cell for added protection for the driver. The shorter cars of the past required the drivers' feet to go beyond the front axle leading to many broken bones that no longer happens in similar crash circumstances.
