A friend of mine, who was a traffic cop said that they could turn an 850 on an entire dual-carriageway and a 200-series car on the blacktop. Negativerlenkrollradius was the German word for the phenomenon.
TBF, other than Chrysler's Alpine, all FWD cars suffer from a poor turning circle as the driveshaft angle restricts the amount of turn the wheels can generate. The Alpine had a "proper" front suspension with double wishbones and not the ubiquitous half-a-suspension system that is the Macpherson Strut,which might have had some bearing on the matter.
