SIX WHEEL DEMON

-

The Covini C6W is an Italian 2-seat 2-door sports coupé with a removable roof section. 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 tyres at the time. In 2003 the project was revived and in 2004 the C6W was shown in prototype form. In 2005 a slightly revised version debuted at the Salon International de l'Auto, featuring new wheels, new roof structure and a refreshed interior, and went into limited production of 6-8 cars per year, as a result of a tie-up between PMI and covini Engineering. The car features are 4200 cc 8-cylinder engine and has a top speed of 186 mph (299 km/h)



The Coviello  is an artisan automotive, dedicated to producing innovative prototypes.

It was founded in 1978 by Ing. Ferruccio Covini

Covini is the first company in the world to have created a  6-wheel supercar, the Covini C6W.

Other successful prototypes were the B24 Turbocooler (1981), a mid-engine berlinetta, the first road diesel to exceed 200 km / h, and the C36 Turbotronic (1998), the first experimental sports car equipped with a common rail diesel engine.
