Think I've seen them before, looks familiar. Can you ask her if the 4 front wheels are as good as they claim?

Saw that at Goodwood, like you say, a weird looking thing.

did one before
There was a similar car years ago and the handling was apparently awesome.
Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'm curious how they set up the steering (and do the calculations) so the front wheels turn more than the middle wheels.

Same as lots of lorry manufacturers do and Tyrrell did:

But Tyrell did it (or claimed they did it) for aerodynamic drag reduction, ie less frontal area.
Trucks do it for load carrying capacity.
Why would a 'sports' car need it?
I feel its a gimik for gimiks sake.
I bet they could offer a more conventional car with identical perfomance and handling for a lot less money.
