QuoteThey are heavily modified, little econoboxes, i forget which kind exactly. (perhaps Peugeot 106? This show originated in the French Disneyland, as I recall).

Amongst the mods:

1. The engine and transaxle located in the back seat, powering the rear wheels instead of the front.

2. Special gearboxes installed that allow shifting into reverse at any time without messing anything up.

3. I believe that they use two separate red cars, one set up like the black ones, and one set up with the driver facing the wrong way, for the last bit with the backwards jump and the driving around after it. You can see that that car is "front wheel drive", unlike the others. Actually it is the same RWD as the others, but the driver/steering wheel/controls face backwards.
