A three-quarter photo of the car, but it's beige now
A top-down photo of the car, showing it only has three seats with the steering wheel in front of the middle seat
A photo of the back of the car, where is has Karin written between the taillights
A photo of the interior, where the all the console buttons are clustered on the frame around the steering wheel and the steering wheel is shaped like a pie with and missing piece on the bottom
The another photo of the interior but from a front facing angle where you can see the instrument cluster looks like a crt television screen

    What’s the logic in putting the driver’s seat in the middle?

        Also noticing the control panel that’s on the floor, for some reason. Not to mention a lack of any sort of seatbelts. I know concept cars are not really meant to ever go to production but this one seems particularly silly.

          It looks like it might be in front of the left side seat, not on the floor, but the perspective is weird.

      The McLaren F1 supercar has three seats with the driver in the middle. I couldn’t see the reason on the wiki page but do recall seeing a short documentary on it many years ago that did mention why. I just can’t recall it unfortunately.

      Some benefits for exports too, I suppose. No need to build an RHD version for Britain, Japan, and the others that drive on the left
