Italdesign-Guigiaro has officially unveiled its Quaranta concept car
built to celebrate the company's forty years of business. Dubbed as an
“extreme” product, the Quaranta features all-wheel drive, a mid-mounted hybrid
powerplant utilizing solar energy, as well as the oddball passenger capacity of
three adults and a child.
Inspired by the 1968 Bizzarrini Manta, the first concept car with a
central engine and drivetrain, access to the interior of the Quaranta is via
two doors, with one incorporated into the other, which open upwards, in classic
super-car fashion. Interior accessories include a steering wheel with all the
car’s control mounted in the space of the spokes, including gear selection. The
concept sits on 20-inch wheels and tyres with a carbon monocoque frame serving
as its skeleton.
