It does help. But while that car looks ultra long, but it probably isn't. The roof of is quite low, probably under 4' from the ground compared to over 4 and a half for most cars. Our eye's tend to play tricks on us and for whatever reason, we assume that all cars are the same height when we see a picture of them. So, if a car is ~10% lower, we think it is ~10% longer. I would imagine overall length is around 13'
