I don't know what to think. It makes my eyes go all wonky....like double vision.

the point was a drunken bar bet :alcoholic: i bet you i can have four wheels up front , i bet you cant , o really then the guy won his bet

According to the article it's a serious engineering development. It does not appear to be just for the novelty of it. These have been tried in racing. They have superior traction for cornering and braking.

They would also have more rolling resistance, moving parts to break, and they are heavier. In engineering the simplest, most cost effective, easiest to package solution is the best.

Thanks Balthazar for the Panther....I completely forgot about that car. The Covini, 6 wheels notwithstanding, is really a very good looking car....it's so hard to adjust one's mind to the front wheels like that, it overshadows the rest of the car which is pretty well done.

It reminds me of giving a Ferrari 4 front wheels.
