Visualizing the bumpers... It sounds like an interesting idea; I assume that bumper supports just aren't shown in this render. (Magic doesn't count as a support, sorry. Neither does simply constraining in CAD...)

I do believe 179 did it in 2008 as well. They had a pretty wicked turn rate. But it might have just been a 3-wheeler with the front wheel being a swerve module.
