i can't believe it. It is headed for production

That is one ugly car. I would of put the extra two wheels on the back.

lauer87 · 12-13-2008, 02:05 PM

Does anyone know what the point of the extra 2 wheels up front are(especially since its RWD, and those four front wheels aren't being driven)??? I mean does it help the car handle better or what? This seems ridiculous to say the least

the apparent advantages are listed in the text:
• Less risk of front tires deflating
• Less risk of aquaplaning
• Better braking
• Better grip
• Better comfort
• Better absorption of frontal impact

i had a good laugh

GregL · 12-13-2008, 03:27 PM

Well thats certainly different. I imagine legroom would be highly constrained on the sides because of how close that extra set of wheels are to the cabin.

hanmaas · 12-13-2008, 03:39 PM

i would imagine TPMS being more of a pita than it already is with just 4 wheels.

I'm getting dizzy just looking at it. My brain thinks I'm seeing double.

i wonder if they make a kit to convert it to 4 wheels...

what a way to ruin an other wise decent looking wannabe super car.
I had a laugh at the reasons for adding the extra wheels......they cant be serious.

sykno · 12-13-2008, 07:59 PM

i know the car looks ugly but does it also look cheap as hell to you guys? or is it just me

lkn · 12-13-2008, 08:11 PM

looks like a bug.

Nutballa · 12-13-2008, 09:13 PM
