check this thing out, I knew I saw it before when I seen this pic, then it occured to me... this is the warthog from Halo.
I don't know about Halo 2, but these are all over Halo... just they are green and have a gatlin gun on the back... other then that, it's nearly identical. :D

My father learned to drive on a tractor where all wheels were directional (front and rear) hetold me it's was hell to drive
I think this should be the same here
Don't buy it if you don't do off road cause that would be a shame to use it inside a city

Its a nice concept, but I don't think it is feasible or practical.

Well if they did put it into production, it would be very expensive and nobody would want to risk getting it damaged on the dirt trails.

It's a concept car mostly to show what they can do, but i don't think they'll ever produce it to sell it but that can give an idea about their future design and technology

No, you know those ones that are bigger than that. They've got like two seats for 3 year olds and they can drive the thing around. Not the RC cars. I'm really good describing things incase you couldn't tell....lol...."You know that thing you did when we did that one thing back when" lol

I thought the same, i don't really like the design of the car, looks more like a toy than something you go off road with

How do you drive it with the back wheels like that? I don't even have a clue :p:

i would say that the steering wheel controls both sets and the back wheels would be used to help you to get a tighter turning radius maybe...

thats going to be impossible to do wheel alignment on after a small accident.

yeah, you can use cars/trucks/etc like that to turn on a dime...wait or is it diamond....

Most vehicles with four-wheel steering are articulated and don't go much over 20 mph (like farm tractors and front-end loaders). Useful only for a tight turning radius.

This one goes from 0 to 60 in under 5 seconds.
I hope they build them. I want one.

im going to have to disagree with you on that one cowboy, GMC (or chevy) has a pickup truck with 4 wheel steering and i can garuntee it is not atriculated and does go over 20MPH

Disposibleteen - you notice I said *most* vehicles? lol, the GMC Sierra pickup and Yukon XL SUV, and the Chevy Silverado pickup and Suburban are the trucks you're thinking of
Developed by Delphi Corp. and launched to critical acclaim in 2002, Quadrasteer links a vehicle's rear wheels to its front-wheel steering system. So when a vehicle's front wheels are turned, its rear wheels turn automatically at angles that make handling more precise.Not quite the same as four-wheel steering, but a suspension tune to aid in turning! The jeep in this thread and in the link posted by eddy would only be able to safely use the rear wheels in a turn at low speeds, the point of my post. At high speeds, the combination of the rear wheels turning as much as the front would lead to a highly unstable center of gravity, with rollovers a definite probability.
