A six-wheeled car that can run at 300 km / h also appears in 2009

Currently, the most commonly seen cars are four wheels, but it seems that cars that can deliver 300 km / h with six wheels will be sold in 2009. A real car that can run already is completed, and a movie that shoots running is also released.

Details are as below.

By making it into six wheels, there seems to be merits such as "it is difficult to slip", "brake is effective", "grip performance is improved", "ride comfort is improved", "shock absorbability is high".

Although C6W was first officially launched in 2004, many prototypes have been made, and it seems that a few finished items will be produced at the end of 2009. Although the price is yet to be determined, will it become a very expensive car, too?
