Covini, a unique six-wheeled supercar

It probably will be a unique super car. How not especially rare vehicle car wheel has 6 pieces.
But that's what that will soon produce Covini C6W in 2012 and as an early stage will introduce presented to the public in the near future. Six-wheeled supercar will actually manufactured in 2008 but because there are technical problems, the intention was nevertheless carried out. The car itself early appeared on the mat Geneva Motor Show 2004.
In fact, Covini C6W project was already preparing for the first time in early 1974, but because of constrained problems, and any shortcomings of the technology at that time, C6W void developed.
But now, thanks to a joint venture between Covini Engineeering and PMI SpA, Ferruccio Covini idea somewhat differently about a supercar is finally ready to be realized.
With a length of 4180mm, width 1990mm, and height 1080 mm, C6W looks like a large vehicle. Although it was great, in fact the car weighs a fairly light, as only less than 1,200 kg.
As for the interior, seems simple. Covini only use two-color leather panels with aluminum inserts. Cars with 2 +2 seating arrangement is, using a body made of glass and carbon fibers, thus making it a light weight.
Discuss this car is not complete without talking about the wheels that became the main attraction. Uniquely C6W is equipped with different sized wheels. That is four wheels measuring 15 inches with tires 205/45-15 at the front and 20 inch wheels with tires 345/25-20 at the rear.
To stop the vehicle, all six wheels are equipped with Brembo disc brakes with Bosch servo that uses electronic brake distribution.
Covini argues that, four wheels on the front allows the car to be able to increase braking, comfort, and stability.
A large body would need a powerful machine anyway, to embed it Covini 4200 cc V8 engine made by Audi. The machine is capable of producing power around 434hp and torque of 346 lb / ft. power source is then mated with a six-speed manual gearbox is ready to transmit power to the rear wheels.
This car is also equipped with a tubular steel chassis with carbon fiber reinforcements and structural parts, as well as independent front suspension wishbone suspension at the rear. Surprisingly, six-wheeled vehicle the car is capable of producing a top speed over 185 mph.
Unfortunately, Covini has not revealed the price for a unique car with six wheels that, but many people who suspect that the car will be released at a price of more than Rp675 million USD75.000 or more.
