- 4 Most INSANE Six-Wheeled Cars Ever Made!
We're looking at Four amazing six-wheeled vehicles that changed how we think about cars. These aren't your everyday rides - they're special machines that dared to be different.
First up is the Panther 6 from the 1970s. This car was built to be fast and eye-catching. It had a light body made of fiberglass and a huge 8.2-liter engine. The Panther 6 could go over 200 miles per hour! Inside, it was super fancy with electronic displays, a TV, and even phones in the armrests.
Next, we'll check out the Ford Seattle-ITE XXI from 1962. This wasn't a real car you could drive, but a model of what Ford thought cars might look like in the future. It had some wild ideas like swappable car bodies and a computer dashboard. Some of these ideas, like onboard computers, actually became real in today's cars!
Last is the Covini C6W, an Italian sports car that took 30 years to make. It has a powerful engine that can make the car go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just over 4 seconds. The six wheels help it grip the road better and stay stable when going fast around corners.
We'll also talk about the Hustler 6, a car you could build yourself using parts from a Mini. It shows how regular people can make cool cars too.

Reckon the Hustler 6 reminds me of a Lego car we all would have built as kids especially with the boxy looking body and those white wheels. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The Seattle-ite is pronounced like "satellite". Great video. Awesome topic.
Seattle-ite would have made an interesting Batmobile. Just needs the Bat-fins! 😅
I bet those are interchangable too😂
Hustler 6 is just a rippoff of the Moke
rad man cool car
No way was that Panther Six an attractive car, nor was it technically a mid-engined car, as most of the engine/gearbox was behind the rear-axle!
I think the idea for the painter 6 came from thunderbirds FAB 1 Rolls-Royce 😄 which is a copy of the ford seattle-ite xxi, now that’s a good looking car!!
I don't think the Panther Six was light, despite its fibreglass body. It had a big chassis, Caddy 8.2 litre engine and a ton of creature comforts and accessories. Still one of my favourite cars of all time though.

06:05 Obviously, the Hustler 6 had a bigger engine on some models.
It looks as though it had a 1750 cc engine out of the Austin Maxi.

Honorable mention also Willys MB Tug was a 6 wheel, 6 wheel drive jeep......
I always liked 6wheels🤔 there was the Tyrrell and the march in 1970s f1🤔 plus concepts and experimental car's since 🤔 cool and different is always good 👍 also been used in sci fi and military stuff 👍
11:38 four wheels are good at the front of the car for potholes as well
You forgot the Citroen CX estate, made in some numbers. Not designed for performance, more for cargo.
Increased contact patch (more tires) decreases pressure on the tires, increasing the likelihood of hydroplaning,
Reckon you're better off with all-wheel-drive with four wheels, instead of two wheels driven & four steering!
My AWD Subaru Forester probably handles better than most of these monstrosities!
You mentioned the fwd Hustler 6, based upon Mini underpinnings - possibly far more interesting was the Highlander. Again a six-wheeler but considerably bigger, this time sporting Jaguar running gear (double Jaguar IRS - although only the front pair of rear wheels was powered) and the 5.3 litre V12 up front…
Wow! Never heard of the Covini. For all double front axle design I’d be tempted to say: Make mine pink. I’ve made some Very nice photoshop pictures of a Citroen XM with such a layout years ago but am too sound of mind to actually try it on the shoestring budgets I have to base my builds on. But one can always dream.
There were extended versions of the Citroën CX with six wheels, typically used to transport newspapers in bulk...
@@woongah As there where of the DS before it and even the XM after it. A film called Hollander transported papers with them so people in the Netherlands and Belgium had the latest copies of Le Soir and such. But they Allard double rear axles and where strictly mods. Seeing such red DS’ as a boy on holidays actually sparked my love for the DS and Citroen 😁
Instead we got the hoopy SUV, and we got a "onboard diagnostics" too tell us every fault the mechanic has to fix for rego
The Hustler looks like a golf cart with a cabin.
A plywood golf-cart at that!
The Hustler was made of galvanized swuare steel and eco-friendly wood veneer!
I don't like unecessary resisance friction.
Thunderbirds Lady Penelope Car
Kinda stupid to put 4 wheels on the front when the major weight was in the rear(Panther 6)
Why 6 wheels?
On;y one of these has never been mentioned before, this is an even bigger waste of time since the thumbnail Buick WASN'T REAL..
Thumbnail is not buick. Its the! Ford Seatle. I just changed the color and and bit of wheels
@@top.intel0 thank you, i'll admit i was wrong
No major company will build a 6 wheeled car en mass Reason simple COST OF BUILDING and hence this cost will be passed on to consumer Allah's for a car that offers no real superiority to a normal design
It took 30 years to build cos of inferior tyre technology 😂bahaha. A good builder never blames his/her tools.
