I saw that in the new Motor Trend.  Supposedly 6-wheeled cars have won some well-known races before but they stopped making them because Goodyear, the only supplier of 10" tires stopped production on that size.

Yeah, this is 0 year old technology, but dang.  Talk about alignment.  Tires must get eaten up.

I bet those tires do get eaten quick. Now i didnt read the article but is this 6 wheel drive or no? Like some people pointed out, it would probably look better if the four were in the rear. I wonder how it would be like to drift with something like that.

BTW: it looks like a saleen S7.

Ok so i read it and of course the 5th and 6th wheel have a purpose but idk how well planned out it is. Either way, the design is less than pretty.

Yeah, Tyrrell produced a 6 wheel F1 car in the early 70\'s

That really is a weird looking car. Wouldn\'t buy one. I\'m satisfied being on all fours.
