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.
