so did he move the steering wheel back so he can sit in the back seat and drive? it'd be boiling hot inside the car if the motor sticks in so much

Apparently this car had quite a few overheating problems when they ran it in Targa New Zealand rally and it wasn't too successful at all. Haven't heard much about it since then.

I reckon its a step backwards. The AWD WRC version would go better.
