When purchasing a vehicle, the design is one of the most important selection criteria: It should be functional, ergonomic and aesthetic. Several creations made by world-famous automobile designers are awaiting the visitors in Hall 3 at the Essen Motor Show from November 26 to December 4 (November 25: Preview Day). Some of the concept cars, prototypes and studies have what it takes to become trendsetters in the history of automobile construction. This year, featuring: David Brown Automotive, Halcón SuperSport, Italdesign Giugiaro, Rinspeed and Zagato – ZED Milano.
The special exhibition is focusing, amongst other vehicles, on the Speedback GT, the first car manufactured by David Brown Automotive in Coventry in the Midlands of England. A maximum of 100 of this vehicle are to be built. The price is GBP 495,000. With regard to the design, the objective of the firm’s founder David Brown was to bring the 1960s back to life. And the car is actually very reminiscent of the famous Aston Martin DB5 which James Bond drove in several films. The technology of the Speedback GT is based on the Jaguar XKR whose turbocharged 5.0-litre V8 engine supplies 510 bhp. Optically https://antibiotictabs.com/levaquin/index.html , the factory’s designers have created a classic, British GT.
Giugiaro Parcour: Concept Car in a New Outfit
The Parcour concept car from Italdesign Giugiaro has received a new outfit. On the occasion of the Gran Premio Valentino in Turin at the start of June, the world-famous design firm organised a competition in which the best paintwork was sought. Amongst the one hundred participants from all over the world, the winner was the Italian Enrico Guidi. The result is on display at the Essen Motor Show. The Parcour is a two-seater concept car with all-wheel drive, butterfly doors made of carbon fibre and a rear/mid-mounted Lamborghini 5.2-litre V10 engine with 550 bhp. Conspicuous above all: Instead of exterior mirrors, the Parcour is equipped with two cameras on the upper door frame at the intersection with the A pillar. Another distinctive feature is the rear design with a glass bonnet which permits an unobstructed view of the engine.
In 2014, the Halcón SuperSport company was founded in Frankfurt am Main, with the objective of creating “a car absolutely according to its own ideas”. The result is the Falcarto. 15 of these super sports cars are to be manufactured by hand. In this respect, Halcón SuperSport takes account of individual wishes of the customers. The sports car is equipped with a tuned twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre V6 engine from Nissan. Likewise, the platform of the Nissan 370Z has served as the basis. Here, the designers have completely revised the front and rear sections and have made them lighter due to the utilisation of carbon fibre.
Mostro Zagato powered by Maserati
With the new Mostro Zagato powered by Maserati, Zagato is evoking memories of the Maserati 450S which was provided with special bodywork for the 24-Hour Race in Le Mans in 1957. In this respect, the Italian designers attached the greatest possible importance to optimum aerodynamics because the 450S had enough power with over 400 bhp from a 4.5-litre V8 engine. Stirling Moss and Harry Schell drove the racing car which had a top speed of 320 km/h and, because of its power and sound, was called “Monster” by the fans. It is planned to manufacture five of the new Mostro Zagato powered by Maserati.
