    Yes, the wheel construction, with a single sideways anchoring point, rather than a central nave, caused a lot of excitement when announced on the Geneva show.
    It was announced as revolutionary, especially for 2-wheelers as motorbikes, and would enhance suspension in undreamt ways.
    And after that... one big silence?

    The problem is very simple: the bearings of the wheels got faster the more they get off center!

    I see lots of good ideas in this prototype, as I see them in many Sbarro's works. He may be crazy, but he's an hell of an engineer.

    Ford V8?? I see 12 exhaust pipes coming out...
    I've always seen it listed as a 3.5 litre V12. Anyone knows who built the engine?
