What's the logic in putting the driver's seat in the middle?
Style, baby!
You can't actually sit under the sloped side windows.
Also noticing the control panel that's on the floor, for some reason. Not to mention a lack of any sort of seatbelts. I know concept cars are not really meant to ever go to production but this one seems particularly silly.
It looks like it might be in front of the left side seat, not on the floor, but the perspective is weird.
So you can have your wife on one side and your mistress on the other. Gotta keep them separated. Duh!

Some benefits for exports too, I suppose. No need to build an RHD version for Britain, Japan, and the others that drive on the left
Concept cars often put creative design ahead of practicality.
The McLaren F1 supercar has three seats with the driver in the middle. I couldn't see the reason on the wiki page but do recall seeing a short documentary on it many years ago that did mention why. I just can't recall it unfortunately.
