It just so happens to be mounted the other way round. Makes no difference to the way it spins.
The motor will spin in the same direction, but the car would be running backward! To run the motor on that side of the car you need a 4 gear box and then the motor will rotate in the same direction as the wheels. Makes no difference whether the motor is mounted in front or behind of the shock tower in terms of the direction of rotation, it does matter which side it is on.
