An Italian company called Covini has revealed a peculiar six-wheeled supercar. Despite its obscure looks, the Covini CV6 isn't the first high performance car with six wheels. The Tyrell P34 Formula One racer and the Panther 6 of the 1970s pipped Covini to the post. Thanks to a partnership with industrial digger builder PMI, the CV6 is already being offered to interested (and wealthy) customers. It's an impressive effort, too - on paper at least. It's powered by a 440bhp 4.2-litre V8 taken from the Audi R8, which is mounted behind the driver and sends power to the rear wheels only. Covini claims that the extra pair of wheels at the front make the CV6 handle and stop more effectively than a normal four-wheeled car.
Other benefits include greater comfort and less risk if one of the tyres blows out suddenly. However, the technical complexity of managing six wheels has always made such a car very tricky to produce. As a result, the CV6 won't come cheap - the price is rumoured to be around €300,000 (£250,000). The body has scissor-style doors and is made of carbon fibre and fibreglass, so it's light, weighing in at just over a tonne. There's no word on performance yet, but we'd expect a 0-62mph time of well under five seconds and a top speed of at least 180mph.
