I wonder how it's propelled? Those don't look like drive wheels in front, and one wouldn't think that engaging the rear wheels would cause it to rotate, since the applied force seems like it would be exactly perpendicular to the front wheels.
Maybe they have a mechanism that engages the brakes on one of the rear wheels but not the other, causing it to turn? I'm not sure if that would work, and from the last part of the video it looks like one rear wheel is turning forward and the other is turning in reverse.
Alternatively, maybe they have some sort of weird mechanism that locks the drive shaft going to the rear-axle differential (forcing the wheels to turn opposite to each other) and then applies motive force to one of the wheels through an alternate mechanism, like a second drive shaft.
Or maybe it's just some kind of trickery, like they're just pulling the car with a rope that you can't see, or the clips of it accelerating in a circle is a time-reversed clip of it slowing down after being given a big push.
