Just thought this was a strange looking car. It is called the Covini C6W.

 

Here is another one

 

is this a real car?

 

Yea, it has an audi v8 in it. Supposedly is do out this year... The car is a 2004

 

and whats the point have having 4 front tires?

 

Covini explained that the advantage of have four front wheels in a sports car :

- less risk for front tyre deflating
- less risk of aquaplaning
- better braking
- better grip
- better comfort
- better absorbing of frontal impact

The 6CW project first started in 1974 and was developed until it became too difficult to build with the given resources. With more recent financial backing, and newer technologies, such as ABS, the 6CW is finished.

The finalized version of the 6CW will be released at the 2004 Geneva Auto Show where orders will be taken. Expected production is set at six to eight cars a year in a new plant in Verbania.

 

Just thought it was funny they call it aquaplaning instead of hydroplaning

 

And you thought replacing four tires was expensive! I guess if you can afford the car then replacing six tires instead of four isn't that big of a deal. I'll bet it would set some record breaking stopping distances though!

 

I agree

 

So..do the front wheels turn in tandem to steer...or what?

 

crazy...reminds me of Blinky, the mutated fish from the Simpsons

 

I have no idea

 

 

If u look at the front pic, it looks kinda like a limo.

 

That's pretty sick....in a good way!
