Italdesign to reveal speedy but penny-wise hybrid car at Geneva motor show

Italdesign Hybrid Race Car

Italdesign Giugiaro will reveal its latest concept of a speedy but fuel-efficient hybrid car at the Geneva motor show.

Italdesign-Giugiaro S.p.a , commonly called Italdesign, is a famous automobile designer and is a highly-specialized engineering company that is located in Turin, Italy.

It was founded in the year 1968 with its first name as Studi Italiani Realizzazione Prototipi S.p.A that worked in collaboration with the Volkswagen. At present, the company is recognized for the famous works of its subordinate, the Giugiaro Design, the home of the renowned car designer Giorgetto Guigiaro.

Today, with their innovative concept, Italdesign revealed that the hybrid coupe is a two-seater and can achieve a top speed on the road at 186 miles per hour, or 300 kilometers per hour. It can also be accelerated from an amazing zero to 62 miles per hour in less than 4 seconds.

Italdesign remained the concept anonymous until the Geneva motor show. As mentioned, the car manufacturer guarantees a fast and furious design on the coupe, but will be an ideal partner for fuel efficiency. The unnamed car can travel 117 miles per hour on a gallon of gasoline.

If you are interested with the car’s technical information, as to engine configuration and other revving mechanisms, you have to wait for its launching on Geneva.

According also to Italdesign, this coupe is shaped like a wedge, and is wrapped fully with aluminum and carbon, with its chassis covered with carbon fiber.
