Given the dimensions of the engine and its "architecture" (a straight 6 cross flow with exhaust on rhs) with regard to the vehicle layout and the ground clearance requirements, I'm wondering where in the heck else the exhaust could be located without a radical redesign which most likely would include changing the chassis dimensions. Then there's the challenge of the thermal gradient between the exhaust and the floor so that one's left foot isn't toasted...
The shorter length of a similar capacity V6 or even a 'small' V8 might have solved the issue... I'm delighted it's a straight 6 ....even if I "have" to wear a platform shoe on my right foot and a sandal on my left foot and push the seat rearwards!
