Viking I

It was built by students from some university I think. I can't remember all the details, but I know that's the car.

Your memory serves you well!

Quote
This vehicle was designed to win the Urban Vehicle Design Competition held at General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Michigan. A unique feature of this car was "extreme Ackerman steering" which allowed the car to be parallel parked in a space only 10" longer than the car.

Viking I won the maneuverability and parkability awards and finished 3rd overall in the competition behind the University of British Columbia and the University of Florida.
