Frrom the back its very nice but the front looks like a cut n shut!

i like the idea of a 6 wheel car (something different) but there's actually no need for that

Nah!


I had enough trouble fitting a 5th wheel.

Apart from the 6 wheels it looks like a Ferarri with different back lights. Plus, the reasoning for 6 wheels seems a bit suspect, e.g.:

- Less risk of front tires deflating - why? Surely each one will still have the same chance of deflating?

- Less risk of aquaplaning - surely more risk, because there will be less weight on each of the front wheels, so increasing the risk of "floating"?

Don't like.

Some people just have too much money!!

A waste to build it, and a waste to buy it.

reasons for creating his modern-day six-wheeler:

• Less risk of front tires deflating
• Less risk of aquaplaning
• Better braking
• Better grip
• Better comfort
• Better absorption of frontal impact

My reasons for not creating a modern day six wheeler:

• Cost of having to buy six rather than four new tyres.
• Increased road noise
• Increased fuel consuption due to higher rolling resistance
• Looks rather fugly imo

Anyone else care to add to the list?

However... if the EU prevent people from buying FAT tyres for their supercars...

Then having more than 4 wheels might help get round the problem!

whats that about the eu stopping people buying fat tyres??

dont like that...dont see the need to be honest.

Nothing's new

Lady Penelope's weekend toy!
I think it looks dreadful.

just a thought regarding the above pic,

you could lodge a potato between the two wheels and it would rotate as you drive but not fall out

I like that Covini thing though. Just because it's such an oddity. Sure, there is no real point to it. But then again, there really wasn't any proper reason why the Cizeta Moroder V16T had that odd engine... Nor did the Mercedes 300SL had any real benefit from its gullwing doors.. And nobody will ever find out what Vector was thinking sticking a 3-speed auto box in a supercar..

They're all collector's items now though just because they are so different from everything else..
