Tecnomodel New Covini C6W – Silver
I’m always one to appreciate the weird, wacky and conceptual. The latest 1:43 effort from Tecnomodel is the 2008 Covini C6W. Inspiration for the design was taken from the mid seventies Tyrrel P34. In my opinion this 6 wheel sport coupe is nothing less than cool. Enjoy!
About the Covini C6W… “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 tires at the time.[1] 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 a rear, 4200 cc 8-cylinder engine and has a top speed of 186 mph (299 km/h).”
