That's easy, driving is subject to the laws of physics that Castela looks to be trying to break at every change in direction.

I’m waiting for someone to speculate on what kind of car that’s supposed to be.

Banged around. Overstressed. Due for a long vacation. Ultimately, fragmented.
Also, imported. There aren't a lot of U.S.-native right-hand drive cars made these days.
Can't tell for sure whether it's supposed to be English or Japanese.

bouncy bouncy . . .
Looks to me like the car might be a BMW or Mercedes . . . not a very new one, either.
Some how I knew what the ghost was going to say . . .
Hmmm . . . one part of the driving sequence has them on the right side of the road . . .

Neither of those - grille is wrong for a BMW, and the proportions and angles are wrong for 50s/60s Mercedes.
Pretty sure it's more or less a made-up car - notice there's a credit for the site that supplied the model - in one shot early on i thought i saw a FIAT logo on it, but freeze-framing it, it's nt that either {though the proportions look almost right for a 60s/early 70s/ FIAT}
{FIAT is an acronym, BTW; i once won free tickest to a sneak preview showing of "Animal House" because i knew what it stood for - in both English and Italian...}

Other than "Fix It Again, Tony"?
It's "Fehler In Allen Teilen", as far as German is concerned...

The car is, in fact, a Triumph Dolomite, built 1973 - 80.
First production car with a multi-valve engine.

Huh. I thought it was either an '80s BMW or some upmarket Japanese sport sedan that was never imported to the US.
Why am I not surprised that the English would brand a sport sedan as a mineral?

It's not named for the mineral, it's named for the mountain pass where the mineral was discovered. And I knew that because the Giro d' Italia tries to run a stage or two through that pass every couple of years.

Not a BMW - grille is WRONG.
Sort of resembles a FIAT 124 coupe

Sort of resembles a FIAT 124 coupe - might have been styled by the same shop, come to think.

I thought it was a Fiat 124 with RHD, to be honest.
