I’m sure there are people who’d buy it just to have a car with six wheels.

Weird, looks like a cat with six toes.

Historically successful manufacturers like Ferrari can’t even sell cars right now so what makes these dummies think they’ll be able to sell this stupid gimmick car?

When I logged on to LLN I thought there was a problem with the photo until I read the headline.

It has six wheels! Of course people will buy it!

If people who don’t truly need AWD are dumb enough to buy AWD, anything is possible.

Added weight AND ugly looks?!? Sign me up!

Seriously though, the Tyrell F1 car in the ’70’s had the 4 small wheels mainly because the smaller wheels= less air resistance on an open wheel car as opposed to two big tires. Not sure what the benefit would be here, as the tires are full size and enclosed by bodywork.. I’m also pretty sure they won’t even build one that get’s sold.

The world needs a 6-wheeled sportscar like I need a 3rd nut …… relatively speaking.

ummm can someone please explain what it is going to gain from having a second pair of wheels up front, all i can see it gaining is weight

This car look like the condition called Congenital Defect. I think they will fail to try sell this one. Sorry no love for this one.

i saw something on TV about this car , they said they already have orders from arabs.

It’s like wearing a pair of glasses with a really strong prescription, that belongs to someone else. Looking at this car hurts my eyes.

U.G.L.Y You aint got no alibi. You Ugly, You Ugly. All I can say is WTF. This is stupid.

Thunderbirds are go!

thats the ugliest thing i have ever seen!!!!!

Ferruccio Covini described the advantages of having four front wheels in such a car as:

* less risk of front tires deflating
* less risk of aquaplaning
* better braking
* better grip
* better comfort
* better absorption of frontal impact

and now the disadvantages :
* no pussy magnets can be installed

You didn’t see the other big advantage?
The big blue baby changing table in front of the passenger seat.
whoops… where do you stick the baby after it’s changed?
Wow 6 weels and only 2 aeats!

How did I miss the s? Seats of course not aeats!

Does anyone know what happens to that roof?

what benefit is there, exactly, to having 6 wheels

WIthout fail everytime I look at it I think my eyes are out of focus so I stare for a bit waiting for my eyes to un-cross then BAM I become nauseated!

Six wheels on a Hummer H6 ftw

this, not so much!

Jody Sheckter’s Formula 1 car of the early ’70s?????

i thought there was a glitch or i was seeing double!

doesn’t look so bad w/o the 3rd set of wheels tho =\

so whats the functional point of the 5th and 6th wheels?

dumb, the added ability of the extra wheels doesn’t adjust for how retarded it looks

I remember a car back in the 70s that used this exact same concept. It was called the Panther 6. It had 6 wheels with the 4 front wheels used for turning. The wheels were smaller , but did allow for two more wheels with brakes. The car used a bored and stroked Cadillac V8 with about 450HP if I remember correctly. Only a few got made and I think they ended up going to some shiek somewhere.

It was FUGLY to but it made an impression on this 7 year old.

Assuming that its 4wheel drive (not awd) those extra two wheels up front should cure any understeer issues. But I wonder if they loose some off the line traction since there are now 6wheels to distribute the weight.

i cant help but think that they would respond like the skis on a snowmobile do, like sh!t.

Why replace for tires when you can replace six. And I can just see the dude trying to give this thing an alignment scratching his head. This Ferrucio character has got to be smoking some good sh*t to keep this stupid idea in his head for 34 years. It usually looks stupid by the next morning.

just…why?

now if this was front wheel drive, you get two options

Ummm…. OK….
34 years of development and now it is headed for production. Great economic timing.

So what happens when you go through tollways when cars are supposed to have just 2 axles? you have to pay for 3 axles now? First a “Smart” car that requires premium fuel to achieve a meager 36MPG, when a Toyota Corolla achieves 41 without looking like a total jackass environmentalist, and now this? what next? An automatic bicycle that’s not a motorcycle?

Can it be that this company also makes rims and tires? Man…. That thing is the most confusing thing to look at… Just got in to work right now and I thought that my eyes where playing me a trick… I am impressed that it took them 34 years to make a car as ugly as this.
As for the point of having a lesser chance of deflating on the front tires – Man what a joke. Instead of the regular two tires You now have four tires that can deflate… This is just dumb!

Old car heh; seen the pics before… It’s an interesting idea for comfort and braking ability, but does look strange… some people won’t get used to it…

Oh, and it’s RWD, and LLN say no word on performance numbers, but their site says 185mph top speed and 470 Nm torque…

Lets just make a super car with Skid Steer! 200 MPH Bob Cat anyone? Seriously WTF……

Great, now I have Vertigo.

I don’t understand this.
It’d look cool with four wheels, but it’s not It’ll go slogging through a wadi.

If Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti or other Super cars manufacturers haven’t done this is because 4 is better than six, when not talking about inches, of course…

If they removed the Widow’s Peak between the front wheels, it would look a lot better.

Let’s see.. 6 will be made the first year.. as if to remind us how many wheels it has, as if we can’t count! 6 jet-setters will buy them just to have something no one else has. What a dumb idea this is. Rear wheel drive with 4 front wheels.. brilliant!! If it had front wheel drive you could put a plow on it at least! I can see an NBA player buying one, or the dumbest actors, but I’m hard-pressed to think of anyone else. I like cars and motorcycles, but it annoys me that the automotive press spends so much time reporting on goofy and/or ultra exotic vehicles like this rather than what we actually might drive. It’s like they rub this stuff in our faces as if to say “it’s a half million bucks and you can’t afford it, ha, ha!” I predict the production run will stop at 6. One of the dumbest automotive concepts I’ve ever seen.

… Covini should have added a large, disc-shaped catalytic converter in back you can bake pizza on out the back window while you drive.. this guy MUST be a stoner of the highest order, just like the moron who financed this car’s development!
