Giugiaro Quaranta finally revealed
Just a few days before the Auto Show in Geneva, Italdesign Giugiaro has decided to give all the information about its car. This concept car is inspired from the 1968 Bizzarrini Manta concept, and its main feature is that it is equipped with a hybrid powertrain which was supplied by Toyota.
In combination with Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive, the 3.3L V6 engine produces 268 HP and 212 pound feet of torque, and, consequently, the car reaches 62 mph in only 4.05 seconds. What is more, the car is equipped with two 16 gallon fuel tanks, which give the car an autonomy of 621 miles. Among other features, we’ll talk about the opaque roof which is covered in solar panels which run the interior electronics and recharge the batteries, the ability to use two or four wheel drive, as well as being able to raise the height of the car to a maximum of 9.17 inches. The interior is caracterized by a front center driver’s seat, with two other seats on either side and a child seat right in the center.
