Italdesign-Giugiaro to show green concept in Geneva
The Quaranta is an "extreme" product, an environment-friendly, 4WD super sports-car which incorporates a series of innovative aspects: its styling, but also its drive technology, which combines a hybrid powertrain supplied by a Toyota, with solar energy, and its internal layout which, despite its mid-mounted rear engine, can accommodate three adults and a child, also providing a generous luggage compartment.
The 3.3L V6 engine combined with Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive produces 268 horsepower and 212 pound feet of torque. Italdesign claims the engine is good for a 4.05 second run to 62 mph. At the same time, its pair of fuel tanks integrated into the frame can hold nearly 16 gallons of fuel, which should be good for a 621 miles range.
Quaranta is inspired by the 1968 Bizzarrini Manta concept which, at that time, represented a major breakthrough in styling, now adapted to state-of-the-art technology and enriched with Italdesign Giugiaro's forty years experience of research.
