The design is logical if you are driving in rough terrain (which was what the RR was designed to do - go where roads are primitive or non-existent). It gives you two feet of headroom so you won't smack your head against the ceiling when you hit something nasty.

Of course people who buy RR's for use in countries that have well paved roads have different motives.
