The Renault R4 had a weird Stick Shift. Got rather confusing, to wiggle around in your Dashboard to find the gears.

You don't need someone in your Picture to make it look bad. Just go for the angle, that spoils the looks of the ugliest car in the world and make it even worse.

V stands for "Versuchsfahrzeug" (loosely Translated into Pre-Production) not the Angle of the Cylinders.
