>> Why settle for 4 when you can have 6?
Posted by : Arvind Jayashankar // December 22nd, 2008 // No Comments »
Either you love it or you hate it. Personally I got mixed feelings about it. But whatever it is, the Covini 6 Wheeler has now entered production!
The C6W takes its engineering inspiration from the 1976 Tyrell P34 race car which had two pairs of smaller front wheels that were intended to increase air penetration and have a smaller frontal area effectively reducing drag.
Ferruccio Covini, the company’s founder, gives the following reasons for creating his modern-day six-wheeler:
• Less risk of front tires deflating
• Less risk of aquaplaning
• Better braking
• Better grip
• Better comfort
• Better absorption of frontal impact
• Better stupid looking
• Better support for fatties
• Better vroom vroom (1.5x)
• Better why the **** not?
• Better not steal my rims!
• Better to run you over with
• Better not pout, better not cry
• Or Santa will fondle you in your sleep
• The elves will take pictures
• And they will wind up on the internet
Do you have a penchant for racing, raw power, high speed and ear deafening exhaust notes?? Do you have adrenaline surges when looking at V8’s and V12’s?? The C6W may be more of a super car; at Pragyan get ready to gear up for the burst of horsepower at NITTro! It’s Mini-Monster Truck Madness as you build your own radio-controlled, IC powered road terror and prepare for mayhem in this high octane event. It’s not gonna be silky smooth roads, so make sure your vehicle is suited for all terrains.
