The chassis was a purpose-built platform configured to support a cab-forward layout. In the initial prototype, the vehicle was powered by a mid-mounted V8 engine developed in-house by Renault.

Holy shit a version of this thing had a V8

Looks like a Volvo P1800s but reversed

DMala@reddit

Looks like someone put a Corvair together but didn’t follow the instructions.

Elite ball knowledge as the kids would say

T900 wasn't a very friendly name, so the development team tried to come up with a better one. Half of them wanted to call it the Renault Carmen. The other half wanted the Renault Gwinn. By the end, no one could tell if it was Carmen or Gwinn.

It looks backwards.

[-]

knowledgeable_diablo@reddit

Blunt front and tapered back can be more aerodynamic at subsonic speeds. See: raindrops

[-]

knowledgeable_diablo@reddit

Not thinking aero dynamics play a massive role in many decisions made in the development of this thing.

[-]

LurpyGeek@reddit

You're not wrong, but raindrops aren't actually shaped like that.

Kichigai@reddit

It IS backwards.

Just when you think you’ve seen everything… What the hell??

Autoamazed@reddit

In a rear-engined car, this is not a bad idea when more space is needed for the crew.

[-]

DakarCarGunGuy@reddit

You can leave the engine in the front and still have plenty of room in a car.......and better cooling for the engine.

[-]

francis2559@reddit

Better in most collisions, too!

[-]

YogiBerraOfBadNews@reddit

Unless you're driving backwards!

[-]

DakarCarGunGuy@reddit

That's an understatement!

[-]

Autoamazed@reddit

If there is not enough money, there is no other option.

[-]

DakarCarGunGuy@reddit

This wasn't built from spare parts. I don't think money was the issue it was a concept that never took off.

kdesi_kdosi@reddit

i get that it automatically backwards because of its' shape, but it also literally looks like they took an existing conventional design and did some modifications
