2008 Covini C6W Spider
At the 2008 Bologna Motor Show, Covini showed a Spider version of their 6-wheeled supercar. We first got a glimpse of this model as a coupe four years ago, but now Ferruccio Covini has updated his ecentric design.
Along with a new open-air cockpit and softop, the Spider has new engine cover. Furthermore the Audi V8 engine has been updated to produce 440ps.
Other minor differences include slightly larger tires and new wheels.
From 2009 onwards Covini hope to start production of the C6W up to a limit of 6 units per year.
