Increase your Low Speed Manoeuvrability

I thought these wheels might help when parking.

A well engineered stupid idea.

Why make something that is inevitably going to be heavy and expensive, that will be under enormous strain every time you try to go round a corner?

My thoughts exactly. I can't even think that it would be worth developing for specialist uses. A full 360 degree steerable wheel, with a built-in electric motor, would do the job cheaper.

Although I thought it an interesting idea if a bit bonkers. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

They could simply go to Italy & learn from the locals how to park in a tight spot! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
