Covini C6W, a six-wheeled car to production in 2009

The Covini C6W is a kind of monstrosity that was introduced as a prototype at the Geneva Motor Show in 2004. It has some similarities with a Koenigsegg or even a Corvette (even the name), but this is a handmade model made by the Italian Ferruccio Covini.
This man takes no less than 30 years with the idea in his head, but until 2004 could not make the prototype, and it is now possible to draw some units to production. It seems crazy to think that someone will buy it, but according to the Dutch version of Autoweek those are their plans.
The Covini C6W lead a 4.2 V8 engine of Audi origin, with some 380 horses. Would pull to the rear wheels (two of the most backward, not at four in back …). Its tires are 20 inches behind, and 16 inches in front of the four.
