Porsche Type 64 – A Star is Born

The 64 was to have an aluminium body, and the wheels were fully covered with removable alloy panels. Due to the event being a long-distance road race, Karl Fröhlich designed the car to carry two spare wheels in its nose, a move which meant the standard fuel tank would have to be relocated further back on the passenger side. With the fuel tank now protruding into the passenger area, this resulted in that seat being moved towards the centre of the car and 30cm further back than the driver’s seat, in a staggered formation. Looking at the roof structure from the outside, it can be seen that the dome-shaped cabin was both low and narrow, making the interior uncomfortably confined.

I like Aerohead's explanation better.
