Default WTF?!?

http://www.worldcarfans.com/11210304...iving-position

Nigel Tuckey from Trinity Motorsports has created this Porsche 911 Cabriolet with a 1+2 seating arrangement.

An anonymous owner of a Porsche 911 (997) Cabriolet wanted a McLaren F1-inspired seating arrangement and his wishes came true after the tuning firm converted the interior into a central-seated cabin. The entire project took approximately one year to complete, while work on a second Centro 911 has already started.

The car was presented earlier this month during ALMS Petit LeMans where the developers explained that a lot of work has been put into modifying the AC system and electronics, while the seat was modified to shift from left to right to provide an easier entry.

Would be a lot cheaper just to lean to the right some.

I believe that is what this thread was all about...

Ridiculous in my never-to-be-humble opinion, but that's just me.

Someone with so much money that everyone they socialize with could also have any car that could be bought "off the rack". At that level, the only way to one-up your neighbor is to own something unique. A lot of disgusting creations come from this, but it's not up to me to tell a guy how to spend his money.
