Quaranta






Good day!


If you need a little break from this very busy day, I thought you might like to forget the troubles of the day...at least for a moment and look at something interesting like the Giugiaro Quaranta Concept.



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 engine 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 roof Has an array of solar panels, necessary to power the electric battery, in the space between the two doors. Along with the other solar panels positioned on the front end, these create a central opaque strip. It uses a 3.3L V6 engine that combined with Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive. It produces 268 horsepower and 212 pound feet of torque. The engine accelerates the car from 0-60mph in just 4.05 seconds This is definitely a great step in the right direction of energy efficient cars.
