Interior view of 400 LPS.
The 5 speed transmission occupies the center section of the cabin. The shift level is direct into the transmission, allowing for fast, positive shifts (essential when shifting fast at nearly 8,000 rpm). Down on the left corner under the steer, the dead pedal. ( click to enlarge)
