C6W on track

The Covini 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 mid-mounted 4.2L V8 engine and has a top speed of Script error: No such module "convert"..[2]
