Italdesign Quintessenza

The Italdesign Quintessenza is a 2024 show car that Italdesign introduced at the Beijing Auto Show, built around the relationship between humans and nature and drawing on more than 50 years of the company's heritage. It has two souls, the dynamic power of a GT and the versatility of a pickup truck: a four-seat electric coupe that turns into a pickup when the rigid roof section over the luggage area is removed, in which mode the rear seats can turn through 180 degrees to face the stars or the sunset. A servo-driven electric tailgate gives access, and a smartphone docked in the steering wheel replaces the instrument cluster. The Russian outlet carstyling.ru, summarising the launch material, reports a three-motor powertrain with one motor at the front and two at the rear, 789 horsepower in total, acceleration to 100 km/h in under three seconds, a range of 750 km from a 150 kWh battery, 24-inch wheels, active aerodynamics, ground clearance of 200 to 280 mm and a wheelbase longer than that of the BMW i7.
