Nardi! What are you doing?!
Enrico must be spinning in his grave. Could you imagine trying to catch this after a bit of oversteer!

That would only be good for vehicles where the wheel lock from left to fight is 1/2 or 1/3 of a turn in either direction. If I remember correctly, the european Citroen SM's had this feature and drivers had to be trained or at least shown how to drive it.

That thing would be perfect for a "Spy Hunter" replica. Just needs buttons for smoke screen, oil slick, missles...

Looks cool, but it's just not practical, and limits your hands to only two spots...
Best regards,

Well if it doesnt work in the car you could always bolt it to a beam and use it for chin-ups

See the upside: The form lends itself to the use of condoms instead of airbags.

Great shot of a Tyrrell! I've just stolen it as this month's computer screen wallpaper (replacing the "F1" Big Wheel, natch  )

I too have never seen a six wheeled Big Wheel! Cool 
With that new Nardi steering wheel, how can you text message and sip your latte, without steering with your knees?
Does that Tyrell have a 'porthole' on the port side of the chassis??? Is there also one on the starbord side?? Never noticed that before......

Unless I can't see it, I count only five wheels on the Big Wheel.

), but I've never seen a 6-wheeler! Must have been inspired by the Tyrrell P34!
