COVINI C3A CAR

-
The Covini C3A is unique in its consideration of the front wheels, which are of a comparable dimension to a 4 wheeled car.
The main advantages of a 6 wheeled car are:
- Increased braking power from the 6 discs
- Increased rubberised surface, giving the car more grip
- More active and passive safety features
- Less aquaplaning effect, thanks to the trace by the first front axis that helps adherence of the second front axis
- Better road holding, thanks to the lower weight of the unsprung masses
- More responsive handling, thanks to two front wheels on each side
- Better front end aerodynamics
- A more comfortable ride with a 6 tiered suspension system
-
The C3A was built with better safety, outstanding braking and directional stability in mind. Because there are 4 front tyres, there is less chance of a loss of control if a front tyre deflates. There is a reduced risk of aquaplaning too, as the front axis set clears the road for the following axis set.
In addition, having 6 wheels instead of 4 gives greater braking power with 100% more contact patch and braking components. The unique design produces more grip and less understeer than conventional designs. The increased surface area helps the suspension system provide a smoother ride, ironing out road bumps more efficiently.
The C3A still remains the only 6 wheeled car on the market. Its exclusivity and unique characteristics ensure it appeals to the high end luxury market.
