It is real
The 4 wheels at the front sort of make sense, as they say it offers better braking & better grip. But i bet its more a marketing gimick than anything else, its not a car youll forget even if you dont remember the name itll be the car with the 4 wheels at the front

They should have just put the extra set of wheels on the rear. more power, more traction, more everything I think 
Extra set of wheels in the rear that the engine has to drive both, means more metal/gearbox work, means more weight and as the engine is in the rear means that weight distribution will shift towards rear bias and the car will oversteer more, Ideally you would want 50/50 distribution.
Makes more sense to give more grip at the front by increasing number of wheels/surface contact area and increasing the front breaking too as this does the majority of work in a car, of course if you just want a car that goes fast in a straight like the americans then stick the wheels in the rear

Actually, the front wheels would have to turn in a different angle to actually be faster in a turn, I don't think they do on that car. the result is more stability but a larger turning circle = shit.
Oversteer isn't only caused by weight, there are more factors, personally I don't think you'd have much problems with oversteer with 4 wheels in the rear (= more traction/grip in the rear, oversteer is the loss of it) and 2 in the front, I'd say it would cause a bit of understeer instead
PS. Never ever ever suggest that I like American muscle cars or any type of car that is only fast on the straights, enough reasons for me to bite your bollox off

Means more power, better stearing and weight distribution should be ok as well 
like the Opel Manta from "Manta der Film"
