how will the third person get into the seat? it sounds like it will be even more difficult than getting into the f1's driver's seat. then with the third seat set rearward, will there be enough room for the engine without making the wheelbase too long and won't the passengers heads block the views to the side?
this article makes the car sound overly complex to package and build and still retail it to compete with the 360 and gallardo.
