Sweet, twice the price for a front end alignment and 2 more tires to buy.:shock:

[Rich189]

Its ugly

[CivicEaterLT1]

[SRGN]

I sense a failocaust on the horizon.

[sweetbmxrider]

weird

[69BirdX]

might look and be cool with out the extra set of wheels

[NJSPEEDER]

Looks like the recycling of an old F1 idea. Weird looking car.

[qwikz28]

imagine how hard would it be to understeer this car

[Blacdout96]

I love it!! nice to see an Original Idea come out for once. and NJSPEEDER you mean this car?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrrell_P34

Could you imagine if they made it AWD?

[V]

ok... i fixed it...


NOW, id rock the hell outta it....

i was curious as to what the interior was like... you know, if i could ever get one and remove that second set of wheels for real... but after this.... needs a custom shop to make a full new interior... the horror...

and yes, you can see the front suspension through the gaping hole in the dash.... wtf were they thinking here


wait i got it... i played this video game at dave and busters last month....

Uh, its called still in mock up stage, still under development. We'd do that with our yatchs, get the jist of what something would look like, then fine tune it. Thats still under the developmental stage ,you know like when we saw the New camaro running around with different rims and headlights and stuff, all company's do that.

[V]

uh, actually that pic was taken at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show....
perhaps a place youd want a little more than a "mock-up" as u say.

and if you had a yacht at a show trying to market it with features like this...

Remember the Cadillac Cien when it was debuted, had a plywood interior, not all cars are complete when they arrive. and plus this is 3 years later, im sure they fine tuned it by now....

[qwikz28]

i like the little phallus sticking out to the left of the steering wheel

I don't like it regardless of whether it has 4 or 6 wheels. The front and back look ok, but the side view kills it.

[NJSPEEDER]

This is the Tyrrell 6 wheeler

http://www.pappapirish.com/ronnie_a_copy_frmes_copy.jpg

FIA didn't let the fun last long and the car saw a lot of developmental problems, like having the front end be very fragile.

It is an interesting concept, but I don't see it as realistic for a street application. You would lose too much room in the foot box to be comfortable much less safe.

also dont forget the panther 6 from 1977... 8.2l twin turbo v8

No the FIA allowed it, its jsut that they had a problem with tires, tehy werent developed properly, and were prone to blowing from the excessive forces put on them. I wish the FIA would allow teams to think such crazy things again. it wasent until the 80's actually that the FIA banned 6 wheel cars.

[KirkEvil]

I like it just because it is unique.

[NJSPEEDER]

The FIA told Tyrrell not to bring it back any more, we are talking old days when they went about enforcing and making rules in a reasonable manner. The actual rules against 6 wheelers came around later when Benetton submitted an engineering inquiry about the concept. The FIA didn't want to go back down that road and shut it down before it got started.

i try to please... better? lol

[NJSPEEDER]

I think it looks good with the single front wheels. With that 22 or whatever it is on back, it needs 19's on front at least. It looks like they used 16's or something like that in the double set up

[V]

its 15s up front 20 in the back

Try shortening the wheelbase, primarily behind the driver's door. Then we will email a copy of this thread to the manufacturer to see if you can get a job in their design department:mrgreen:

[SRGN]

Dude, that is perfect now:drool: How do we get them to build that version?:rofl:

[Blacdout96]

.....looks like a ferrari 360 now, boring.

and Tim, they were never told not to bring it back, it rparticipated in all the races the team tried to enter it in (30). Good Year made their tire's, they were cross-ply, and had problems because since the diameter of the tires in the back were bigger, the front had to rotate at faster speed, and also having them being used to turn, they had alot of force put upon them, wearing them out quicker, and having a few blowouts. Goodyear only made them for the 76 season. The next season goodyear stepped back, not wanting to invest anymore in teh development of the tires because they were the only racing cars using those tires but whats the point since they were already underdeveloped the season before. So GoodYear was loosing out by not being able to mass sell them, and to get them to withstand the forces on them. So Tyrell had to use the tires from LAST years series, so they were already behind considering they have the previous years technology. They ran the car for two seasons, and despite Depailler praising it, 1 pole, and it winning the Swedish Grand Prix....thats all the success moments it ever recieved. After two season and Derek Gardner leaving the team, Tyrell abandoned the project. They were never told to not bring it back. Now other teams also tested 6 wheel cars, but the second set was behind the driver, and due to an FIA rule regarding only two wheel drive, these cars werent allowed to race, and then in 1983, they officially mandated a rule saying only 4 tires can be on a car.

[tastyle88]

no need for runflats in front lol

[sweetbmxrider]

why did you change the front caliper to yellow? and leave the rear black? :lol:

it looks sweet though 4 wheel. just a little too raked, but its getting there.


edit:

wow! that is perfect! sexy
