Giugiaro Parcour: my favorite exotic concept in a LONG time

[MinisterofDOOM]

Distinctly Giugiaro styling. I love the look. I love the idea. I love the engineering.

The car's styling is something special. It's really timeless. I see cues from every automotive era from the '60s to today, but none of them are overt and they're all a clean part of the whole.

For those about to comment on the 4x4 ride height: it's intentional, and adjustable. The car uses a pushrod suspension design, but the pushrods themselves are adjustable (or lockable...it's not quite clear which) coilovers. So you end up with a system where one coilover actuates another via a cam, permitting a transition from traditional road/track ready ride to a rough-terrain-friendly setup that allows for more travel. Think of F1 suspension but with the pushrod link replaced with another spring.

Needs a V8.

Makes me think it might be what a modern Pantera might have looked like.

I first learned about Giugiaro when I bought my SVX, which he designed. I loved that car, and pretty well love most of his car designs. This is no different. This is definitely a work of art.

It's got some Lancia and Pantera. I like it.

[Rev_D21]

I like how it actually shows tire not just all wheel with rubber bands.

It's okay, but it doesn't capture me. Park it beside a deTomaso Mangusta (a much nicer Giugiaro design) and the Parcour looks too busy.
