There's been no official confirmation from Lego, but the general assumption is that the design was changed because the preliminary model was too similar to an Audi R18 to get away with not having a licence - this would also explain the lack of BHF. Another reason could be that it was too expensive to re-introduce the curved slopes (headlights) that haven't been used in a set for a few years.
Interestingly, most AFOLs unanimously preferred the original design...
