Legendary designer's Gioacchino Colombo's final trick at 70 years of age was to be an eight-wheeled F1 machine called the 1175, with four narrow wheels arranged in tandem per axle. However, unlike the Ferrari six-wheeler that would test two years later, the wheels weren't locked solid to each other but turned independently. The idea of using eight wheels was not just to improve the drag coefficient but also to increase safety and lateral stability.
