After 32 years of development, the Covini Engineering team claims this is the production version of the six-wheeled C6W it finally is unveiling this week. The future is now.
The unusual sports car takes its engineering inspiration from the Tyrell P34 Formula 1 race car of 1976. The Tyrell had two pairs of 10-inch front wheels to improve downforce, increase traction and provide a smaller frontal area to reduce drag.
Although the specific engineering behind the Tyrell P34 doesn’t necessarily translate to the C6W, whenwe spoke to company founder Ferruccio Covini two years ago he provided several reasons why he’s creating his modern-day six-wheeler.
