The car is notable for its plethora of unconventional and often user-hostile design elements. These include: • Windows that are raised or lowered with a strap that the user pulls, and held in place with eyelets and pegs •
Suicide doors and a driving position that make ingress and egress extremely difficult • A starter awkwardly placed by the driver's right hip • A fuel filler tube which goes from the roof, directly through the cabin of the car • Front wheels that are farther apart than the length of the wheelbase • A linear rather than H-shaped
shift pattern with a neutral between each gear • The rear wheel is placed immediately behind the driver, with a large portion of the car behind it • Rear-wheel steering • The combination of the previous two features mean that the car has an extremely high tendency to slew. • An engine located on the same pivot as the rear wheel steering mechanism, so that the engine moves with the wheel when the car is steered • Rearview mirrors positioned so that they are perfectly blocked by the
A-pillar • Two-stroke engine, which requires engine oil to be continuously mixed into the fuel supply • Single-cylinder engine, which causes greater vibration than multi-cylinder engines • Rear-mounted engine that is dependent on air cooling, but the lack of a fan causes overheating when idling ==References==
