Italdesign – Quintessenza: See it on our 2024 Concept Lawn
August 18, 2024
Quintessenza is Italdesign’s latest concept: it represents the quintessential relationship between humans and nature in its many forms.
An electric, two-scissor door vehicle, it blends the luxury appeal of a GT and the all-terrain character of a pickup.
At 5561 mm long, 1580 mm high and 2200 mm wide, Quintessenza can seat four passengers, with the rear seats featuring a 180-degree “stargazing” mode and a removable tailgate.
A human-centric approach has driven the design of the concept’s interior, which includes a floating dashboard incorporating air conditioning and HMI controls, a four-spoke yoke steering wheel to fix the driver’s smartphone in place, and a smartphone app that allows the driver to customize the car’s controls and the driving experience. A large, dynamic, center console, which stretches all the way through the cabin, incorporates several vehicle controls on the front and a mini bar on the back.
Quintessenza champions sustainability as it features innovative and remarkably sustainable materials: water-based painting, natural fiber composites, coating from marble powder, smart textile and floor.
Quintessenza features a lightweight aluminum structure, a 150 kW (201 hp) battery that provides for a range of up to 750 km (466 miles), and a tri-motor powertrain that produces 580 kW (777 hp) for an acceleration from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 3.0 seconds.
