However, think rationally and it seems obvious that if four wheels and tyres provide a certain amount of grip, then six should increase that by half again.That's the sort of thinking behind the Covini C6W.
Covini says the car is a research project into active and passive safety, but then the company could have done that without fitting an Audi-sourced 4.3-litre V8 with 434bhp.
With four-wheel steering, the added braking performance of four wheels at the front and an all-up weight of just 1,200kg, the C6W is claimed to take care of 0-62mph in 4.7 seconds and has a top speed of 186mph.
Covini is still deciding whether or not to put the C6W into limited production. But we reckon the firm should say no to rational decisions such as this and just build the damn thing in all its six-wheeled glory.
