So, the back wheels on the car get as much side force on turns as they would with the whole tail cantilevered, but without the weight on them to help with traction. How fast can you say "Oversteer!!"? There's a Goggomobile set up like this in the Microcar museum. It must have been a major hazard, even to VW drivers.
