Covini C6W – the Car with 6 Wheels

This “caterpillar” with several feet, will soon be available on the worldwide markets, being a really weird car with one unique feature: it has 6 wheels instead of 4.

30 Years of hard work were needed in order to create something like this, Feruccio Covini (its creator) presented for the first time his concept at the Geneva Motor Show in 2004. Covini C6W is a supercar with two places which will get into production by 2009, and will be distinguished through its 6 wheels.The power is provided by a 4.2 liter V8 which develops 420 HP at 6400 rpm and a torque of 2700 rpm, being transmitted to the back wheels through a gear box with six steps. Its weight of only 1150 kilograms will make this concept have an insane acceleration, combined with a maximum speed of 300 km/h.
