on second look, it is kinda nasty looking, but its a show car, and they're trying to show it off, and sometimes that means going overboard and making it look kinda weird...i'm guessing alpine was more interested in showing their sound system....and i dont even think that thing in the center is a steering wheel....dunno if you drive show cars, so maybe its just put on there for no reason...just to barely move the car around...if someone's sitting on the side, it might obstruct the view of the stereo???? dunno...just pulled that outta somewhere...
