Covini C6W – 2009 six wheel supercar

From all other angles, however, it looks really good and after nearly 30 years of planning and development, in 2009 we will finally see this dream of Ferruccio Covini come true. The C6W is an acronym for Covini 6 Wheeler, and it will be produced in a limited series.

Covini C6W -1Covini C6W -2From 2004, the year in which the first prototype debuted, the original creation from Covini still surprises for its mix of sacred and profane. The C6W has some peculiar elements from the six wheels at 20 (at the rear) and 16 inches, which improve braking and reduce acquaplaning. Thanks to its limited weight at only 1,150 kilos, the Audi V8 4.2 litre engine (380hp and 450Nm) manages to reach more than 300 km/hr.

The thought of being on board is not so weird now, as downright scary at the idea of whizzing along at that speed. At least we can be confident that with six wheels, no take-off is likely to occur.

Covini C6W - The Six-Wheeled Supercar

Covini Engineering is a small company dedicated to constructing innovative automobile prototypes, as well as other experimental crafts. Back in 2005, they came up with the idea to add an extra axle to the front of a supercar to increase the car’s braking abilities, comfort, and directional stabiliy. The Covini C6W pictured below is the fruit of their labor.

In the front, the Covini C6W rides on 15-inch rims, while the back sits on dubs. The overall look created is part Ferrari, part Lambo, and part jaguar XJ220. And we’re sure you could toss a few more design influences into the pot.

Since the C6W was built as a prototype, no pricing or production info is available. But we’re sure that if you want one Covini wouldn’t turn you down if you made them an attractive offer.
