Covini

Covini Engineering is an Italian car manufacturer founded by Ferruccio Covini in 1978. The company is known for its innovative and unconventional approach to car design, particularly its development of high-performance sports cars with unique engineering features. Covini’s most notable creation is the Covini C6W, a six-wheeled supercar that has garnered significant attention for its distinctive design and advanced technology. The Covini C6W, introduced in the early 2000s, is a striking example of automotive innovation. It features an unusual six-wheel configuration with four front wheels and two rear wheels. This design aims to improve handling, stability, and braking performance by providing additional grip and reducing the risk of aquaplaning. The C6W is powered by a robust 4.2-liter V8 engine sourced from Audi, capable of producing over 400 horsepower. This engine allows the C6W to achieve impressive speeds and acceleration, rivaling other high-end sports cars in its class. The inspiration behind the C6W’s six-wheel layout can be traced back to the 1970s, when the concept of multi-wheeled vehicles was explored in Formula One racing. Ferruccio Covini believed that the benefits of this design could be effectively applied to a road-going sports car, leading to the creation of the C6W. Despite its unconventional appearance, the C6W has been praised for its innovative approach to enhancing vehicle dynamics and safety.
