Interesting that they put all the weight over the end with only one axle. :clonk:

Reminds me of the convertible that they drove in "the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" through the streets of Venice, pretty cool ride, but I don't think mass production would ever happen with the cost of an extra set of tires.

I still haven't figured that out. That's why I posted here, I thought maybe someone would know.

It says they used 6 wheels for front tire er, tyre deflation. Here is an idea. How about using a high quality Z rated tire like any other supercar would have? Then get rid of those other 2 wheels and reduce some road friction.

I'm thinking some Billionaire was bored and said, "I wonder what this car would look like with 6 wheels".

Here's my checkbook...make it happen.

Tyrrel (sp?) built a formula one car like this and it was a flop.
