I'd forgotten about the mid-rear engine.

Fixed wheelbase; driver moved to the rear, front seat is a semi-reclining rumble seat with the seat cushion between the Mustang A-arms where a front engine would be. In race mode the passenger seat becomes crumple zone.

...otherwise, Here's an example of a variable wheelbase truck. One of the two driveshafts is added:

And the Rinspeed Presto from 2002. The chassis must be thicker by at least the distance between the chrome bars (either that or tiny people):

So, you're going to unbolt the front and back half and slip a spacer in between?
