Designers get paid way to much to sit around and create stuff like this.

Here's a cool 6 wheeled car



The designer put 4 small wheels in front for better aerodynamics. It actually won some races but Goodyear wasn't willing to do much development for tires that would only fit one car. I don't get it on a street car though.

That's not the first time a six wheeler has seen the light of day .Years ago there was a car called the Panther that also had six wheels and was destined for production .I think a few were built but then it dried up .

Is it suppose to improve steering also? At least from the race car, it looks like all four front wheels can turn.
