Covini C6W on track

[pimpmyforklift]

top gear anyone ?

[TDUguy]

i do want one, but i bet the steering would be heavy cause of the extra momentum of the 4 wheels

[besasch16]

non capisco il senso di una macchina cosi sgraziata brutta e dalle dinamiche cosi incerte (dal filmato sembra molto sottosterzante e "gira" piu' come un autobus che come un'auto sportiva ...) BAH!

[SuperInline6]

fuckin slow

[Nicolas141191]

I guess it reduces understeer and it breaks better...

[nicksk8ing]

out in america we gots 18 wheelers so this is nothing

[andrew681able]

@nicksk8ing lol

[saomaino]

what an ugly looking thing, like a chicken with 4 feet.

[Restayvien]

Think I'd rather have an Ariel Atom.

[traviesovago]

at least have no problem if there's a flat tire

[jimmyflau]

What a freak!!!!

[hanshuber123]

pointless

[eseberre1]

and we thought buying a new set of four tires was expensive..!! xD

[dakotajames91]

and the point is..!???

[Kakashisd]

Não gostei.

Carro estranho.

[QuickProfits]

I would not be seen dead in that freak of a car :|

[SineeZhyguli]

Really cool, 4 those who like to check tire compression, with their foot.

[LocumsMart]

I want to see it on a 2 mile oval and so I can see how fast it goes in second gear. This track was way too short. The car had to keep braking.

[xevious2501]

Im sure the creator was thinking it was a good idea but ahhhh... WHAT CRACK WAS HE SMOKING? that thing is sooooo stupid!!. 1st. what are you trying to achieve? speed?- no too much drag ride quality?- i dont think soo. in a world with veyrons and 458 italia's where does this thing sit? what a waist of doe.

[halfingr]

@xevious2501 "'waist' of 'doe'"? Or did you mean "WASTE of DOUGH"?

[likuidmotion]

Imagine if it only had 4 wheels, mind boggling.

[redb2112]

But will it blend?

[droolerdork]

It's definitely different!

[rysnyper50002]

someone, somewhere must have found a photoshop image and said "hell im making a car with 4 front wheels"

[FIGHTSEEN]

Looks like something tacky "oil money" would collect. ZERO "curb appeal".Don't expect to get laid with it.

[drummerblade]

@FIGHTSEEN

I think you mean; don't expect NOT to get laid with it. it's freakin awesome.

[xpaullywogx]

it's ugly as fuck.

[vitto]

weird..how do u get in that thing?

[mkvos]

Yeah but how well does it parallel park?

[EmperorOfMars]

million dollar super car...filmed by crappy camera from wal-mart

[1958plymouth440V8]

The Tyrrel P34 is remembered.. :)

[aflipz]

Now make it 6wd and double the power :D

[maniamac54]

sucks to buy new rims for this beast:P seriously a sick car though

[charlietow]

talk about no under steer!

[DRUMSTUDDZ]

futuristic :) i like it.. too bad im too poor to buy one.. oh well..

back to driving my mitsubishi.. haha.. 

[grundik1]

looks fine, - this is how all the cars look when driving home from the bar

[produKtNZ]

@grundik1 oh LOL

made me laugh ;)

[DocWolph]

I honestly think this car is awesome, but for the life of me I think it would work better, from a driver POV as an FR and not an MR.

[patacca100]

te la sogni a 300000 costa 1.400.000

[saaron62]

Ugly? I think it looks pretty epic.

[snipeifyer]

this car would look so much better and preform better without those 2 extra wheels

[Mrfitrider1]

it would look better but the 2 wheels make it perfom better you jackass

why else put another 2 wheels?

you think its just to make it look cool?

[krzfly]

i don't see a point in this...

[daizmiester]

looks like it corners pretty tight but its just painfully ugly

[blackhole522]

This hideous thing probably costs like $300,000 or something...

[deKay88]

ugly car

[omegagtr]

a nice lookin car but a waste of time i think

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

this 6 wheel concept isn't new. An f1 car raced with a 6 wheel configuration.. a Lola i think.

[KRUPPIABC123]

Tyrrell P34

[Liboni85]

ITALIANS do it better!

[rdtli]

complete monster ... so fuckin ugly

[stones5435]

bet if u turn hard enough u break a goddamn axle

[splein23]

i think it looks great and probably handles great on soft turns. but judging by the video it has some wicked body roll in the tight turns. id still drive it cause i think it looks kool, could have some great potential for a drag car. : )

[Lix198606]

wat a stupid car, just goes to prove that everythin sensible has been done

[evoteck]

understeer solved!!

[madmax2069]

oversteer unsolved

[ssssroryssss2]

I see the four wheel steering but is it six wheel drive?

[pivotous]

i think that's an option.

[TheTiggerMan]

What is sup with the extra wheels.

[EMOisGAY4]

Thats for making sure who ever it runs over with is dead

[akede2001]

@EMOisGAY4 Also for paying more at toll booths.

[Vintage772]

LOL at first i thought i was seeing double xD

[DiZzyBonne]

do the four front wheels move and turn together???

[cxc90]

yeap ;)

[BlackBeastofAaaaagh]

Reminds me of the famous Tyrrell P34 Formula 1 race cars introduced in the late 70s. It actually won a couple of races by huge margins, but was then abandoned after 1 season.

[nasonguy]

Right on man, it was inspired by the P34!

[streetracerm5]

Can you drift it? :D

[cxc90]

course man, better grip :D

[vitto]

u don't want grip while drifting..think

[moneyking1]

@cxc90 i'd love to see this car drifting, it looks sick :D

[jihan93213]

@cxc90 grip in the front wheel is a plus while in the back is a nono for drifting

[jim112894]

how fast is the driver going?

[thereemix]

i jizzed in my pants

[007walk]

where is this car manufactured coz apparently it can't be purchased in the states

[cxc90]

Italy

[Ru2S7]

cxc90 - I like the concept a lot, but how much weight is added to the car by the additional suspension system?

[cxc90]

good question, but I'm not sure, I just know that the total weight of the car is 2535 lb (1150 kg)

[Ru2S7]

Very light then, it must have phenomenal grip.

[scage89]

bella..ma sto circuito è troppo piccolo

[shinjiemisato]

vero...

i wanted to see it on a bigger circuit competing with others cars =X

[daft9punk]

to whoever is driving...LUCKY BASTARD.

[depthors]

i would drive the hell out of that car. People think its ugly because its slightly different, eventually this is all you will find (if in our lifetime) due to the fact that its safe as hell. Flat tires in the front do nothing to the car. I want one!

[cxc90]

FINALLY someone agree with my opinion xD

[tskateboy55]

dumb

[Aphexas]

handover this car to Mr. Stig... let's see what it realy can do in real driver hands

[torjusb]

and i bet that "car" will win the "ugliest car of the year award on top gear". Not only does it look like a koeniggsegg i have borrowed its looks and the way you open all doors and hood. These germans cant do anything right, especially when making new "revolutionary" supercars with six wheels

[cxc90]

its italian not german

[shinjiemisato]

german? Neither covini or koenigsegg are germans.

[pivotous]

covini = italian

koenigsegg = swedish

[ObamaObamaObamaObama]

I agree with carbondave. That track would be tight for a gokart track? He didn't get out of first gear.

[cgraham45]

Was that all done in one gear?

[JLMoto]

i think so lol

[Terence5Hotz]

sounds really good

[tkodawg9]

GAY!

[bjjfighter777]

so basically ur saying by increasing the surface area of the front steering tires via increasing number of wheels, this would increased the handling of the vehicle. i guess, it just seems in appearance anyway very akward lol. i dunno, it would be interesting to drive.

[feczor]

yeah it does look a lil wierd. i kinda wish they puth the second set of weels in the rear.

[cashoutnow9461]

damnn that car drives smoothly

[CarbonDave67]

Is that on a karting track?? Looks small, no wonder he only used 1 gear.

[Martimizer]

I want to have one.

This Covini C6W and the Nokia Morph.

[EddyHil]

what a f'ing retarded idea,,,why in the hell did they use 6 wheels...This car will never make it to the track or keep up with any other super car!

[haynakaw999]

I dont know much about cars but does 6 wheels have an advantage over 4 wheels?

[gravediggmn]

none at all

[JLMoto]

other than making it look incredibly ugly no. well i think it makes it handle better idk. i read about it but its horrible looks made me forget.

[ratbombgtjc]

dat car is sounds good

[clinch44]

uh........ why the extra wheels?

[weirdotis]

4 wheels are boring!

[jpcash11]

It would look like a nice car were it not for the extra wheels.

[sonofscars]

smoke weed.

[robisandor]

lol the driver drives in the same gear all the time,it sounds..i think this car is ridiculous,these concepts were ages ago in f1 and it seems the design and functionality have more disandvantages than +-es..otherwise many of us would buy a set of 6 wintertyres these days :) respect for building it though..mr.ferruccio should donate the money to poor instead

[fascarman]

I've had a comment on my comment. Rather than respond with another one, I'll give you an education. Search utube, "Tyrell P34", and you will see a nice video of the '76 grand prix, 6 wheel Tyrell running around Monaco and another track in the footage. It was quite a car but under steer was bad as you may notice. Look at the size of the rear wheels and remember that at that time there weren't wings for down force and thus the 2 extra wheels made sense to try.

enjoy the footage.

[silentutot]

Wiki says RWD

[persianversian8]

is it a 6 wheel drive?

[oddball650]

i remember reading that it has real wheel transaxle

[bjjfighter777]

yea im not really sure what the 4 wheels in the front improves... wouldnt there be some sort of drag or on either the inner wheels, or front-end plow with the front 2 wheels to some degree??

i dunno i dont get it, seems like a 4 wheeled car works fine 2 me

[iz2sicc]

Those extra wheels will provide much better grip. Yea, drifting will be null and void because of it. You can't really tell how fast the guy is going from the video, but his turns look nice and tight. If a four wheel drive car provides superior handling, then six wheels will obviously be better than that. Imagine this tech on other types of vehicles. There will be much less accidents due to weather conditions.

[1ahsimak1]

Yay, another way to make Mr. Firestone even richer. Fuck that!

[persianversian8]

LOL!

[HanselJrFilm]

driver rides to slow, and cant even drift, probably the car is not ready for drifting, i' be dead if i try drifting with the 4 front wheels been that close with each other

[Cingular31JB]

This car isn't meant for drifting, its meant for performance.

[Plur307]

Why does everybody keep talking about drifting? It is not faster. Show me one professional race car that drifts. Sure they get a little oversteer, but that is not drifting.

[victor2cutube]

what's with the backfire when the guy lets up on the accelerator ?

[iz2sicc]

Lot's of sports cars have backfire, some even have a little puff of fire exhaust out. Sometimes this is a sign of a problem, but other times manufacturers or car modders intentionally add it. It is just fuel that has not burned properly and has leaked into the exhaust pipe. The heat in the exhaust ignites this little bit of fuel causing the backfire. Timing issues are the most common reason for this. In this car's case, I think the makers did it intentionally. Backfire on downshifts sound good.

[sirMAXX77]

lol, yeah lets buy a car that has the timing all screwed up.

[airmax04]

hmm... which one of the two would best describe this video? driver doesn't really know how to drift or the car is just a waste. hmm...

[boxing4free]

I'm not impressed; the driver has to slow down almost to a STOP just to make a turn...

[nxmoparmatt84]

the vehicle is not at its peaks and the driver is not a pro, i doubt they'd push the only prototype they have, from the looks of the car on track there's no body sway, it keeps grip very good as you cannot hear tires squealing and it accelerates well due to large back tires.

[voodoovince27]

yea because..you need 6 wheels on a car

[motleyhar]

Why do they call it the CW6? Just kidding, lol.

[23xkingdomkeyx23]

Looks badass

[skyosu]

from what the engine sounds like is not too good, also the car's steering doesn't look too hot either compare to a normal sports car.

[sonnifer]

thats stupid awesome

[armenjc]

does anyone else hearing it misfiring (backfiring?) after the driver accelerates, then let's off the accelerator? i'm no car expert, but that doesn't sound good.

[urmomm1992]

it wasnt backfiring it was the rev limiter

[corndizzle25]

did the use the saleen s7 as a model for this car looks the same just with 6 wheels

[sintiansai]

Horrible understeer

[fascarman]

MOst of you commenters must be very young. Formula 1 had the Tyrell, remember. It was an awesome machine. Anyway, give the builder a break, I don't see any of you wrenching on anything noteworthy, at least he followed his dream and completed it.

[senorbeast09]

yea but it was a complete waste of time. it looks like something dr. seuss would drive around.

[liljoneastsideboyz]

ahahaha! x] forealls

[IprototypeI]

No shit. it so absurd that it pictures a 4 legged girl in my head

[raydiddy420]

If you were driving on a gravel road something could get stuck between the tires and halt them like gears.... causing tons of damage because they are so close together.

Even if it is just debris on the freeway, this would be dangerous to drive.

It would have been much better to put the tire in the middle and the two outer sets to turn, that would make a super sharp turn.

[muzzkata]

That kinda remind me for Gillette razors evolution. For about 100 years one blade was just enough. Then for 1 decade they somehow managed to fit at the razor 5 blades. OK, it shaves a bit better...and costs a lot more.

Maybe the analogy is not correct, but that was just a momentary thought.

Otherwise the car looks cool.

[XxreaperofsoulsxX]

should have put the wheels on the back and also it seems liker theres a problem with the engine wtf is up with it poping every couple shifts

[ArmandoKolombia]

oh shit that car looks cool... i want one of those ... i hope that if they come out they dont make them too expensive =/ .. it sucks that people don't like new ideas but i guess people will always be afraid of new things

[y0ungmug]

I don't think it's so much that people don't like new ideas. Life is built on ideas. So you can't say that. No, it's the fact that people hate ideas that are terrible. The design is not pleasing to the eye and the price, when it comes out, will do nothing to help it.

[Athelfirth]

This car would have looked good if the 4 wheels were placed in the backside not at the front . Or if this car had 8 wheels so they could have placed the same number of wheels on each side . But it would have been too expensive and if one of the wheels will break than it means the others would be useless .

[109367]

I saw a pickup truck with 10 wheels once. This car is beautiful, from behind when you can't see the extra wheels. I guess no one likes it because it is different, it takes a while to warm up to new ideas.

[freakoid9000]

the dude cant drive!

[tjfeen]

I agree, definitely was not a professional -- didn't even know to give it some gas while turning.

[bjahava]

didnt go past first gear...

[rpitre27]

it looks like a human with a 3rd arm.

But havin 4 tires with traction/turning power is a good idea.

But man is it ugly!

[cxc90]

lol, you get used to it xD

[jonatigre16]

haa! it does look ugly! i rather get a saleen mustang!!

[ivegotbuds]

My stock 79 Trans Am would out perform that POS. And it wouldn't look rediculous doing it.

[bungalowal]

Wow does that ever suck!!! What a waste of engineering. VROOM VROOM! Check out that weak cornering! YEaaaah. OOOOOOOOOOO (Do Not) Want!

[bunajanos]

crazy idea...

[kilimanjaro55]

its not wierd its different... good job ... u get 50% more babes haahh :)

[bigjermini]

look closely. the wheels are not even moving! what the hell is that all about? from the handling and such this looks to be bullsht. if its a cam prob, then the wheels should be a blur, not standing still! Redo!

[shinjiemisato]

it´s real go inform urself before talking bulls***

FAIL

[cxc90]

look its not a montage, is a real car, I know the quality sucks and that made cause the videos to look fake, but I can send you the original video and then you will see that isn´t a montage. The reason it has 2 front wheels its for a better handling, stability, security, and breaking, if you don´t believe me google it.

[KevinandCindyGaul]

The appearance of wheels moving or not moving depends completely on shutter speed and the speed of the wheels turning. Wheels can appear to be standing still or even turning backwards. They almost never appear as a blur

[crazynow68]

pinchi carro tan feo

[pimpfluid69]

That's right, folks! Not only is the car ludicrously expensive, it's also funny looking, and has twice as many steering components to wear out!

Get yours now, before they're all gone.

[p0rcelaing0d]

Sure is an ugly car, but if it's practical, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't go into production.

[ivegotbuds]

Now that's funny.

[Sam103SKCC]

to everyone who has said the car looks weird

of course the car looks "weird" I mean it's a concept that is not on the road. I mean if you never seen anything on wheels before you would be amazed yet going wow thats "weird" at to us "regular" cars

If everyone had a 6 wheeled car then the "werid-factor" would be gone from nearly everyone

[Sam103SKCC]

i was referring to a concept of having 2 axels in front not in back if some people are wondering

[393coupe]

That looks like shit .....

[NioYagami]

Parallel parking will be off the chain.

[AntiSocialBytch]

i like the way it move it slick 6 wheels would be something to get use to tho

[saru7755]

its like its stuck to the ground with super glue.. wow.. but honestly speaking it looks a lil creepy with its 6 wheels..

[mackat4ck]

some my think this car is weird but just look at that grip it's awesome!
