Just what we need....another supercar 100L/100Km fuel consumption and 6 tyres to wear out. So many rich morons out there.

The famous Detroit suspension Engineer Bill Allison, in his retirement, aside from perfecting 59% efficiency wind engines, created 3 models for simple testing. One with 4 wheels, one with 6 wheels and one with 8 wheels.
A simple incline plane will show you which has the least rolling resistance, and the greatest stability. Bill bogied the wheels. By far the 4 wheeled vehicle was the better. Bill insisted that the rolling resistance was reduced to 1/4 that of a 4 wheeled vehicle. The Japanese professor who has been designing 8 wheeled vehicles also came to the same conclusion. But if any of you are rail road enthusiasts, you have known that for a very long time that bogied 8 wheeled cars are the best. And the jerk auto critic from the NYT tried to make fun of such vehicles.
Stupidity, combined with snarky attitudes is lethal. Bill Dickens

eugh! just what I\'ve always wanted. A $400k \'supercar\' that looks like a truck going backwards.

One advantage of tandem tires is the front pair also clears rain from the road. The front tires should also last longer due to load sharing similar to what tandem rears do for motor coaches.
Given the conservative horsepower rating from the well proven Audi V8 and the six speed gearbox, fuel economy should be, depending on the whim of the driver, quite good. In response to comments from another reviewer: Next time you see a high line sports/super car or, top of the range, luxury sedan (we drive a Lexus LS600hL) just ask him (or her) what they do for a living. Chances are you\'ll find very few morons. Instead you\'ll meet some wonderful people who have worked hard for many years getting to the place they are now. We \"morons\" provide jobs for hundreds of thousands of people around the world.

It is not the first roadgoing 6 wheel car. There was also the Panther 6 from the UK, which used the Cadillac 501 CID motor and transmission. There was also the car driven by Jack Lemmon in \"the Great Race\", called the Hannibal 6. Additionally there were the parade Mercedes cars used by Hitler.
