Nice drifting!

The Honda Prelude had a feature similar to that (forget which generation, something in the late 80's). Dodge has a truck that has it. The Warthog in HALO is 4 wheel steering. A lot of construction equiptment use it as well.

Overall, I think the major manufacturer's stay away from it (if I recall correctly, which I may not) because its effects are minimal and the parts are expensive and complicated.

All Prelude generations since the '80s had it available. Skylines, Silvias and 180SXs had a version, too...

But the interesting bit is that when the Prelude first got the 4 wheel steering (in the 80s) everybody thought it was the next big thing and would come standard on every vehicle. heh.

Kinda looked like some sort of demented Ice Ballet on wheels

The new Chevrolet and GMC pickups debuted QuadraSteer this year.

Mazda have also fitted 4WS to a lot of thier viechles of the 90's. The 5th gen Prelude lost the 4WS to cut down on the cost of the VTiR models(At least the NZ market one did) the 3rd and 4th gen ones all had it

4WS discussion aside, how the fuck did they get the dual steering thingy? He was going backwards for most of the video??? And what kind of car was it?
