Panther 6

The Panther 6 was an extravagant six-wheel convertible produced by Panther Westwinds in 1977. A mid-mounted 8.2 litre Cadillac V8 with twin turbochargers drove it through a three-speed automatic gearbox. Inspired by the Tyrrell P34 Formula 1 car, it had one pair of larger rear wheels and two pairs of smaller steerable front wheels. Equipment included electronic instruments, a 17,000 BTU air conditioner, an automatic fire extinguisher, electric seats and windows, a telephone and a dashboard television set. Claims of a top speed over 200 mph were made but are not substantiated. Only two cars were made, one white and one black, and both are known to survive. The list price was 96,000 dollars, and at least one car was the showstopper of London's 1977 Motorfair.
