It is a great proof of concept for the present day fans of the influential Dymaxion. It influenced in the area of vehicle aerodynamics but the design's driving dynamics was woefully horrible. The 1933 fatal accident in one of the prototypes was attributed to its bad handling and eventual abandonment of further study.

Another meticulous and faithful recreation #4 by famous architect Lord Norman Foster. https://vimeo.com/21160399
