Re: Other cool vehicles
I guess it is kinda neat looking but it is totally useless. That wouldn't make it over a speed bump without ripping the fenders apart. Doesn't even look like you would be able to turn

Re: Other cool vehicles
That thing must be sitting on airbags... Or it has no suspension! And what kind of chassis is it sitting on? Maybe an S-10? otherwise, it doesn't look like it is 4wd.
Overall I dig the look though.

Honeycomb wheel
The tires have been designed for the US Army so that troops don’t get stranded when their tires are blown out.
I can't imagine they handle very well.

Re: Other cool vehicles
I've seen this design for the past 10 years or so being tested and I think they can build them to do just about anything. Given the way the rubber runs, I would guess lateral response could be pretty good, better than a regular tire with that much sidewall that can lean in a turn.timelessbeing wrote:Honeycomb wheel
