Covini C6W
Sport Sedan six wheels is the idea of Ferruccio Covini, There are several reasons why Covini C6W Spider uses six wheels:
In the case of deflation front tire, vehicle control is guaranteed by the other wheel on the side.
Disc brakes front of us, although a smaller single area, ensure a greater braking surface, this means less overheating and higher brake effort
Low risk of aquaplaning, because the two front wheels, which remove water to the people behind them, ensure better roadholding
Leisure is a consequence of the reaction force is more evenly distributed in this supension: reaction in the case of the pot is split between four-hole front wheel and shaking the chassis is limited.
Reducing unsprung weight in the wheels grip. improved directional stability: changes in angle due to slack in the steering mechanism (in stuctures like silentblocks) is compensated by a second set of wheels.
Two additional springs and dampers that provide a better handling vehicle.
Spider C6W Covini 8 cylinder engine in V formation, 4 valves per cylinder, naturally aspirated, gasoline direct injection Bosch-motronic, located at the rear of the vehicle. Engine capacity of 4200 cc, producing 380 horsepower @ 6400 rpm, with maximum torque of around 450 Nm @ 2700 rpm. Mated to transaxle rear wheel drive transmission 6-speed reverse mechanical, manual and steeringwheel electro-hydraulic servo installed.
With performance that is owned, Covini C6W Spider capable of achieving a maximum speed to 300 km/h (185 mph).

Covini Sports Cars C6W Is A Very Special Supercar
Italian car maker Covini Engineering has finally completed their 6-wheeled sports car, and it’s ready for its debut this week. On autshow Bologna, Covini Sports Cars is a very special supercar. The Covini C6W is the world’s first six-wheeled supercar. C6W is an Italian Sports Cars 2-seat, 2-door sports coupé with a removable roof section. The manufacturer of the Covini Sports Cars C6W announced that the model is ready for production.

Inspiration for the car was taken from the 1976 Tyrrell P34, which had two pairs of smaller front wheels, a principle applied to the C6W. The project was started in 1974 but abandoned shortly after, and left dormant into the 1980s due to the lack of availability of low-profile tires at the time.
Covini are convinced 6 wheels are better than 4. The Italian car maker says the addition of two extra wheels on the front of the vehicle helps improve traction, and the smaller space on the front of the car makes for a reduction in drag, which in turn increases speed.

The manufacturer claims the design produces less understeer than conventional designs, and suspension produces less turbulence from potholes and bumps in the road because of the increased surface area.
Ferruccio Covini, the founder of the company, speaks of comfort and reduced risk of aquaplaning. Additionally, the safety, eg because there is less risk of accidents is a flat tire. About the disadvantages is not much known

The C6W is powered by a rear-mounted 4.2-litre V8 Audi engine with 325kW (433 BHP) and 470Nm of torque. The car features a rear, 4200 cc 8-cylinder engine and the sports car’s has a top speed of 186 mph (299 km/h).The six-speed manual transmission transfers power to the 20in rear wheels. The four front wheels (all 15in) are responsible for the steering. All six wheels feature vented Brembo brake discs.
