Olympics 2021 Ride in Style at the Olympics with a Baseball Bullpen car Featuring a Baseball Glove Throne.

It comes standard with three rows of seats, with the front row being dedicated to the driver’s seat in the middle. Fifth-passenger seating is available in the second and third rows, while the second row may be folded to accommodate a wheelchair.
