BLACKBULL Report post Posted December 11, 2008 A friend of mine sent me a link to this car, which led me to look up the links below. Has anyone ever heard of this car??? The car has 4 front wheels that steer and I 'm wondering what advantage does it give????? What do you think?? Is this for real or just a gimmick??

maxthevoice Report post Posted December 11, 2008 Seems like they photoshopped another pair of wheels on a badly drawn Saleen... Looks ugly and useless to me ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinnsella Report post Posted December 11, 2008 Tyrell P34 used 4 front wheels in the late 70's on their F1 cars. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wprbq1Z_Vts&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jBy2JUBttA...feature=related Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zack Report post Posted December 11, 2008 Brilliant! Totally outrageous and ugly as hell. That's following in the footsteps of the Tyrrel F1 car from the 70's. Thanks for posting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouth37 Report post Posted December 13, 2008 Huh, kind of looks like an Ascari from the front, not so sure about the rest of it though. I would really like to see some skid pad tests on this thing, why not go with dual rear wheels as well, call it a C8W. Hell, why not bolt some tank treads to that fuc#er that will give you some grip around corners... The riced out clear tail lights from a new beetle are a nice touch too.
