There are two really strange things about the Hurricane. The first is that it has two Hemi V-8 engines. Depending on power needs at any given time, the off-roader can run on 4, 8, 12 or all 16 cylinders.

It can also, literally, turn on a dime. Front and back wheels can angle inward allowing the Hurricane to rotate in one spot. DaimlerChrysler, Jeep's parent company, says its patented technology could see some military applications.

For those of us without Pentagon budgets, future Jeep production vehicles might benefit from some less radical applications of Hurricane's 4-wheel steering technology, suggested Joseph Barker with auto market analysts CSM Worldwide.

rear wheel steering, the skyline had "sympathetic steering" back in the 90's and i know that wasn't the first car to have it. and there are a number of cars that shut down cylinders when not needed, there's a merc and a couple of jap cars for sure.
