Tha C6W was built with safety, increased braking, and directional stability in mind.[3]
Because there are four front tires, there is less chance of loss of control due to one front tire deflating as well as less risk of aquaplaning due to the front axle set clearing the road for the following axle set. In addition, having six wheels instead of four produces better braking due to 100% more contact patch and braking components on front axles and better grip. The manufacturer claims the design produces less understeer than conventional designs, and suspension produces less turbulence from potholes and bumps in the road because of the increased surface area.[4] It is hypothesised the increased grip of each tire may mean that the car can achieve greater cornering speeds.[5]
