Filed Under: Specialty Marques Geneva Motor Show

We have seen the teaser images throughout the week, and now it is finally time to reveal the car on video!

Giugiaro has set to work on a concept car which will both be less environmentally harmful yet still delviver some serious power. The Italian design house used Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive to power their idea of a futuristic super car employing state-of-the-art F1 technology. Giugiaro claims: "It is an “extreme”, ecological, 4WD super-sportscar, the first hybrid car with mid-engine and driving position and a roomy cabin able to accommodate three adults plus a baby in complete comfort."

Stay tuend for live photos from Geneva early next week.

Truth be told I'm a little dissapointed. I was expecting a lot more, looks a lot like one of their previous designs that they did a couple of years ago.

I agree with all the posts, I really thought this was going to step out, instead I know I have seen this, as a toy Matchbox car when I was a kid. It was a late 70's toy called the Bolt and it had a big lightning bolt on the side. Yeah, it was pretty much this same car. Way too easy to be called ground breaking. :o(

Yes, and watch those cheap aftermarket wheels... As I've said many times, Giuguiaro Jr. isn't up to that prestigious logo.
