6-Wheeled Car Enters Production

Posted by John Farrier in Car & Vehicle on December 12, 2008 at 10:14 pm


The Covini Six Wheeler, its designers argue, has superior steering and braking capability due to its extra set of wheels. It will be available to buyers starting in 2009.

Follow the link for more pictures and a video of the Covini driving around a racetrack.

    That thing must weigh a lot. Also the middle set of wheels must be mounted without an axle. Can't wait until it shows up on Top Gear.

    Well that's just hideous, now. It's like a six-legged horse, or some such.

    Is being butt ugly a requirement?

    Looks so fake to not be real.

    There've been some 6-wheeled race cars made before. They didn't catch on.

    The only thing you could do with it is paint it pink and pretend you're Lady Penelope.

    Put Jeremy Clarkson in it and then we'll see if it's any good.

    The only 6-wheeled race car was the Tyrell P34.
