I found this.

Covini C3A | Covini Engineering (En)
Quote:

The inspiration came after Covini noticed how little grip and comfort his four-wheeled cars had, particulary in unfavourable road conditions. Covini Engineering set to develop a car that would offer greater power, braking and handing performance than any other car.
I guess this goes back to the car verses motorcycle debate, the bike is faster until the first turn where braking becomes a concern.

Perhaps this car will be able to effectively brake?

I looked at the other projects going back to 1978, styling seems to always mimic the most influential vehicles of the day.

The only real surprise here is that it's not a Diesel like their other projects.
