What about the Super Car set #8880?
There are front wheel drive on that car also?

Well, here are my attempt on making a steering.

One is without drive, it just has independable suspension (Steering1). The
other one (Steering2) has both drive and suspension.
No special parts are used...
But the problem is both types are verry wide.
