I hope it's a (very) limited edition...

The would be almost impossible to drive anywhere. Does it have rear-wheel steering?

Rodimus prime?

French coach builder Tissier built 6 wheel CX's. Some were used as high speed newspaper delivery vans, some were converted to beaver tails, some as ambulances etc.

"Michelin’s engineers fitted two Chevrolet 350 V8 engines in the back of the PLR. One drove the car and the other drove a mid-mounted truck wheel that was fitted with a test tire. The rear six wheels powered the car while the front four steered it, creating a complex but effective setup."

Hopefully someone will post a pic of that E34 M5 cab in a minute, so I can sit and drool for a while

Nevermind I'll do it myself.

I'd do dirty, unspeakable things to own a Tissier CX to use as a kart/track slag hauler.

Wonder if it'd carry the weight of a stripped out Saxo or similar...

How cool would it be to pull up to a paddock and have your Saxo fly out the back A Team style.

You getting your 80s TV trash confused.
It was knight rider who came out the back of a van in a car.
The A team made tanks out of forklift trucks, compressed air and cabbages.

There were plans to build Opel/Vx Omega V8s. They were kyboshed though.



Shame, I think they'd've gone down a storm.

Would love a 6 wheel CX myself.

I just can't get over how ridiculously ugly that thing is. I understand this was built a while ago, was this ever considered not ugly?

They could not withstand the German high speed testing. Where a car has to pretty much stay at autobahn speeds for a long, long time

The v8 wedged in there meant there was not enough cooling for such extended performance

I was told they had intended to use the V8's for Police and other emergency services
