Description 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 rear, 4200 cc 8-cylinder engine and has a top speed of 186 mph (299 km/h).

Nope, if you are insane enough, you can pretty much make anything into reality.

...not to forget that financial support is a crucial factor as well...

from what i remember why Tyrrell done that was to cut down on aero drag by using the smaller front wheels, like you would thought having the extra weight would've been a bigger issue

Don't forget the extra grip that was available from 4 tires instead of 2.  So where the car would lose time to the traditional cars, one could quickly make up ground in the turns.  Thus other teams would eventually complain, just as they did with the Chaparral 2J and it's "unfair advantage."  The rest is history of course.
