Thought this was weird and didnt look so good.

Thats funny because I just turned on Speed and one of the cars “competing” in the historic F1 race at Laguna Seca is this car ![http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/TyrrellP34ScheckterDepaillerExhSinsheim.JPG/800px-TyrrellP34ScheckterDepaillerExhSinsheim.JPG](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/TyrrellP34ScheckterDepaillerExhSinsheim.JPG/800px-TyrrellP34ScheckterDepaillerExhSinsheim.JPG) ---

The F1 Tyrrell P34 engineered their car that way for a completely different reason than what Covini are doing. The fact that they have a finalized model ready for production puzzles me a bit, as I do not see any advantages at all for having another set of wheels on the front axle, other than curing a problem that like the P34 encounters. More unsprung weight means lower sprung-to-unsprung ratio, which counters the conventional rules of achieving good vehicle dynamics. The real questions is what kind of performance gain will they have at a cost of adding more weight to the car. If a 1001hp Veyron can do it with 4, odds are most cars can. There is a reason why you don’t see cars with 6 wheels being produced. IMO, the Covini seems to be an answer to a question that no one asks. ---

> [@RocketPunch](#): > > IMO, the Covini seems to be an answer to a question that no one asks. Covini is doing it because it is something different, a giant marketing ploy. The reasons listed on the site are a bunch of bullshit, they are only trying to make it seem like there is some practicality to the design. The designers were probably on a week long drinking binge and by the time they sobered up they had invested too much money into it to stop. ---
