This is the supercar that I'm astonished got built. I don't understand what market this thing is targeting. I guess dimwitted trust fund holders or lottery winners who don't know any better?
What do you guys think of this thing?

I think the market was: Lovers of the Tyrrell P34
I think I'm disturbed, my first thought was "Man, that's a lot of rotation mass." 
at least it has no excuse for understeer? And i bet it stops really well...
Kuhmo, Bridgestone, & Pirelli love it!
Is it AWD?
It should be mid-wheel drive, just because.
No, RWD. V8 mounted in the back.

That is as disturbing as unexpectedly finding a third nipple. It's not quite so shocking that you won't take it for a ride but it is just enough so that you won't mention that part to your friends.
Looks like the lovechild of:
Except that the recessive genes won out in both cases in some sort of genetic accident.
Take a dump truck with an extra set of wheels and lose the load carrying capacity and cross it with a powerful supercar that lost its good looks and sweet handling.
hey, someone let a baby Ascari eat radioactive waste as a child and this is what it grew up to be!
Other way around, I think this is a crawling Ascari
What was the original thinking behind the Tyrell? I was under the impression that the extra wheels were to compensate somewhat for iffy tires that weren't working right. Tires recently are much better than even a decade ago.
So what's the real impetus?
I vote shock value. I see no other explanation.

The Tyrell actually got 6 wheels for aero reasons. Two sets of front wheels allowed the use of shorter front tires, thus a lower frontal area, and less drag. (Among other benefits.)
Hey, I like it! If I were a bazillionaire I'd have one in my collection.
Maybe it's from Pandora.
4 steering front wheels permit to increase braking, comfort and directional stability. Besides, the lightness of the car (less then 1200Kg), due to its essentiality, can give superb driving sensations.
… without compromises.
And there's the reason.
Why settle for 4 when you can have 6?
In reply to m4ff3w:
Just add fenders!
Doesn't this mean that this car can have 50% more box flare?
