Mr. Gronholm would tell you three wheels are enough and he can handle car with three wheels better than most of us with 4 wheels...also three gears are enough for him. ...I think the number "3" is Gronholm´s lucky number

Seems that the upper mounting point may be actually located on same place for both setups, the bottom one is on opposite side of the upright.

skoda way at tarmac, to choose that way citroen for sure there are some advantages.

You can also easily change the topmount, so it makes the situation even more easy. But anyway interesting, totally different approach it looks like.

IMO the advantages could be following:
Asphalt - less damper friction, better brake cooling, less body movement in steering due to smaller castor (= a lot smaller forces in steering)
Gravel - longer travel
