Actually roar just staes it must have independent suspension at all 4 corners. Does not mention anything about direct drive, just no sloid rear axles like what is found on pan cars.

I would think if you removed the center layshaft on a touring car, you just removed that much more friction and it would benifit from it in many ways. IT does limit gear ratios some, but when you loose that much rotating mass and friction, the ratios should not matter nearly as much. Just my opinion on this. Those images look sweet though how they have the vehicles layed out, the first photo to me would be perfect for a touring car.
