Lots of manual cars have some extra step with the shifter to get it into reverse. In many you push the stick down, and that allows it to slide into the reserve gear. Some you lift up. And others you turn as in this example.
Shout out to my Mini which has none of that and will allow you to go into reverse instead of 1st extremely easily. To be fair, you’ve got to put some force into pushing it far left but I’ve defo done both…
The Porsche 944 has the emergency brake on the same side except they were even smarter. They just made it tight so you only have to click it up a couple notches and it doesn't block you getting in or out
real old volvo 140 series had them on same place. think saab had them there also on some 99 series, and also the early saab 99 had hand brake on front wheels... good luck make a nice slide with that.
Same thing in the 968 (who was originally meant to be the 944 S3), I can tell you that you forget that handbrake on, and with the torque of the engine, you barely notice...

To the people complaining about the hand brake not being in the middle of the car: This isn't a car designed for convenience and not for regular driving. It is one of the most powerful supercars of its time, catering to a very limited clientele for a very restricted few reasons (either to drive really fast on a racetrack, or to impress people with your wealth). It competed against a car by Ferrari that was so minimalist that they didn't have door latches on the inside and made you pull on a little piece of fabric to open the door ,and McLaren's competitor had three seats next to each other, with the driver sitting in the middle. It's sort of like complaining that you have to climb into an F1 car from the top instead of it having proper doors, or that NASCAR vehicles have a safety net instead of side windows.
Ok these are all pretty weird and very cool, i definitely need to know what that crazy 1,000 wiper attachment does, like what is the actual poit of it? But my favorite was definitely that gear shift. Im obsessed with old cars and ive NEVER seen that before. Thats pretty fuckinn cool.
Every car should have a handbrake like that, that way you'll never forget to put it on, or you'll never feel you forgot and have to come back to double check.
The turning knob isn’t just for safety to prevent reverse. When backing up you can use as a handle hanging out your side door.
