Came across this while reading about a BMW. Never heard of it or seen it before. kinda sorry I came across it now.

I guess the turn it on this thing is good.

I feel like I'm going cross-eyed just trying to look at that thing. My mind cannnot comprehend the extra set of wheels without a few more beers.

Thats similar to the 1976 Tyrrel Formula 1 Car. Had potential, but chewed tyres like crazy due to smaller diameter to rears and it was very difficult to get front on the apex of the corner. Evenually canned due the Good Year not wanting to make 10" track tyres. FWIW...[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]


Note portholes to allow driver to see front wheels for apexing..

I bet the portholes are to examine the tires for blistering...

I knew that body style but couldnt place it till now. It looks like a Saleen S7

Looks like it is a prototype and there is only one. Let's hope it stays that way, because I just don't see the point.

I'm guessing that the tire manufacturers love it.
