Well it was front-engine rear wheel drive.Originally Posted by henk4
Obviously trying to compete with Lamborghini and failed.
They should stick to 2 seater, rear engine - sounds familiar

That's a neat tractor it reminded me of the cute Minneapolis Moline UDLX ComfortTractor (1938, 40mph, 3 pics below). While searching for pics of the UDLX to share, I came across this interesting page which features some amazing tractors including a turbine-powered 1957 Ford Typhoon and the incredible fuel-cell (!) Allis Chalmers of 1959Originally Posted by Matt

For mere trivia, my final tractor pic (in B&W) is 'Tail End Charlie', the ugly-but-effective Chamberlain 9G tractor entered as a competitor in the super-tough 1955 'Redex Round Australia Trial' rally-endurance event. (It was also in the 1956 trial) In the 1957 Mobilgas Trial it covered 11,140 miles in 19 days averaging 18.5mpg and broke all tractor distance records. A condition of entry was that Tail End Charlie travel at the rear of the trial as a 'sweep vehicle' and assist or tow any vehicles experiencing damage or mechanical problems. This time was achieved despite a roll over and repairs that took 11 hours to complete
After this brief tractor-interlude, now back to Lambos & Porsches ..
-Ford GT and AC Cobra (EDIT: Nevermind, it has a link on it)
-Ford GT and C6 Z06
