What a crazy wheelbase. I can't even imagine what it would be like to drive a car where the front wheels are behind the driver.

- geon 14y agoI'm guessin it was done purely to make it look more futuristic, since the reactor itself wouldn't really affect the design very much.
- nkoren 14y agoActually, the rear wheels were placed directly beneath the reactor to accommodate its expected-to-be-significant weight. And the front wheels couldn't be too far from the rear wheels, in order to support an appropriate turning radius (without all-wheel steering). There was actually a modest amount of real engineering done in support of this thing, and the wheelbase was one of the results of that.
- Retric 14y agoAssuming the it was stable, I don't think it would be noticeable while driving. I suspect moving the rear wheel placement would be far more noticeable especially when backing up.
