Italy’s GFG Design, which was formed two years ago by legendary designer Giogietto Giugiaro and his son Fabrizio, unveiled a stylish electric concept car—the Sibylla—that can provide energy to other EVs or homes.
GFG is partnering with Shanghai-based Envision Energy, which is China’s second-largest wind turbine company. The Sibylla is designed to use Envision’s “energy internet of things” platform that feeds into the electrical grid.
The concept car is powered by a 75-kWh battery and a pair of electric motors. GFG says the Sibylla also is designed for autonomous driving.
The car’s styling pays tribute to previous Giugiaro concepts, such as the 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Testudo. That vehicle will be shown alongside the Sibylla at next week’s Geneva auto show.
Highlights include an all-glass canopy with no support pillars. The design led to an innovative approach to the doors, which are teamed with a forward-sliding front section of the canopy to allow access to the front seats. A partial gullwing-type system is used to aid access for rear-seat passengers.
The interior has an aviation-inspired steering wheel and a half-moon dashboard that houses a digital infotainment system. Rear occupants get fully reclining seats and individual infotainment systems.
The concept car’s name comes from a mythical Latin character that could provide answers and predict the future.RELATED CONTENT
