    Maybe, but there are even less of them that can do 4sec to 100 with that and still have the emissions of a Fiesta
    I am easily satisfied with the very best.

    That looks really stunning.
    I really like the way the complete window/roof thing stretches from the front till the back. All those edges those hard lines. (i can't really express myself this good in English, sorry ) .

    (Scherpe hoeken, strakke lijnen, en toch ondanks dat een heel erg vloeiende auto.)

    I really like this one, would love to see it irl.

    Yep, visually that is the most striking feature of the car. Imagine if mr. Giugiaro would have gone all the way and stretched black window/roof thing also to the rear panel. Then the illusion of a sliced car would have been complete.

    I can't be bothered to read the full press release, but apparently it was inspired by the Bizzarrini Manta.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    yup, that was the first thing that came to my mind.
    even the scenery looks the same

    at the italian television a program showed the creating process of the Quaranta at the Italdesign center before the releasing of the first teasers, so i (and a lot of italian people...) already knew how it was before of you , btw, it appeared since the beginning too much similar to the Toyota Volta, which was design by Giugiaro too...the shape is similar, the propulsion system is similar, the 3 passenger layout is similar...it could be a good looking car, but it isn't (no more) original...and then the way the windows are stretched is very similar to another Italdesign concept, the ID90 for Bugatti, and also the Nazca C2 for BMW.
