distiortion:
Not of natural or regular shape
Distortion is the alteration of the original shape
the car is not the original shape, it therefore is distorted
Perspective is something different all together
As far as I learned, at least concerning photography, distortion means that a straight line in the world becomes a bent line in the picture.
So, if a lens does not distort it means that a straight line remains straight.
Perpsective just changes the "angles" between lines and their lengths.
That's why I said there is no distortion. But I'm not a pro so I might be wrong.
