Another one today, over a chicken and stuffing sandwich.......

Other than the Panther Six, are there any (road) cars with 6 wheels- configured four at the front and two at the rear?

There used to be some place that converted Range Rovers to 6x6 - seen a couple, but not for a long time.

They were 4 wheels at the back though.

The only one I can think of that was not a concept or a film car was this, yes it was a one off but it was registered and street legal. I present the Wolfrace Sonic:



By the way it also had two engines and two diffs, back in the eighties this was one of my favorite cars.

Jankel, but they were 2-4, not 4-2.

Well what if you open it up to four wheels at the rear and two at the front?

Or anything with more than 4 wheels, but still a road legal car, and not a truck or tank.

Excluding the previously mention Range Rovers smile

There was a 6 wheel F1 car about 20? years ago.
Also an eight wheel amphibious thing.
