An exemplary vehicle front end structure may include an energy absorbing structure movable between deployed and non-deployed positions. The structure may further include an actuator system that moves the energy absorbing structure from the deployed position to the non-deployed position. The energy absorbing structure in the deployed position may be spaced apart from an engine support structure by a first distance that is greater than a second distance by which the energy absorbing structure in the non-deployed structure is spaced apart from the engine support structure.
