En eldriven sportbil med hög markfrigång

För en månad sedan berättade vi om GFG Style som är ett företag som den legendariska bildesignern Giorgetto Giugiaro dragit igång med sin son. Då fick vi även en teaser för vad de skulle ställa ut i Genève och nu är bilen officiellt presenterad.

Den heter Kangaroo och är en eldriven sportbil med lite högre markfrigång och saxdörrar som samsas med öppningsbart tak för att underlätta i- och urstigning. Man beskriver skapelsen som en "electric hyper-SUV" och under skalet ska det finnas en drivlina bestående av ett batteripack på 90 kWh som matar två stycken elmotorer som tillsammans ger 360 kW och 680 newtonmeter i vrid. Drivningen sker på alla fyra hjulen och 0-100 km/h ska gå på 3,8 sekunder medan toppfarten är elektroniskt begränsad till 250 km/h. Räckvidden ska ligga på över 45 mil. Karossen är i kolfiber medan "takdörrarna" är i polykarbonat. Måtten på bilen är 4,6 meter i längd, 2,0 i bredd, 1,29 i höjd och en hjulbas som mäter 2,76 meter.

Intressant koncept helt klart men troligtvis aldrig något vi kommer att få se på vägarna.

Pressmeddelande

GFG Style shows Kangaroo Hyper-SUV at Geneva Motor Show
The new concept car by GFG Style, a two-seater
THE DESIGN.
The appearance of the front already announces its ambitions, with a serious look into the
future, thanks to the headlight technology and adaptive spoiler. This appearance changes
with the configuration input, which modifies vehicle trim and adapts to the performance of the
moment.
The nose features the GFG aluminum frieze, a signature feature of GFG Style prototypes.
In keeping with the tradition of extreme Grand Tourers, the passenger layout offers two
extreme seats.
The side panel is sculpted to accommodate big 22" wheels, the car's primary impact feature.
On the side is a very clean line that starts from the rear, and in a single sweep sketches in a
side protection carbon strip.
The rear is conceptually similar to the front, with the recessed lights generating an
expression of sportiness while overhanging a large air outlet; the latter conceals the functions
of arrow and reverse lights, through small prisms of Led crystal that create a precious "jewel
effect".
Accessibility is once again refined and innovative, as the upper part of the dome lifts up gullwing fashion, while the lower part, the door itself, has a slightly "scissors-like" opening.
Optically, the shape of the body is divided in two; both the upper part, characterised by a
large dome, and the lower part, like the bonnet, offer different chromatic solutions: they can
in fact be in exposed carbon or body colour. This can generate very different personalities
between the sportier or more elegant versions.
Special cameras and sensors are located on the roof for autonomous driving purposes, and
other cameras are slotted into the mudguards, which also include the direction lights.
The "cut" next to the door, which may look like a wing to let air in, is in fact the flap, present
on both sides, to fuel the car with two different types of charging (one fast and the other
standard).
The wheels, which are fitted with Pirelli Scorpion tyres, have also been specially designed for
the Mak to transmit dynamism, and possess an element of the same colour as the car: they
are therefore in polished, chrome-plated aluminum, black and orange.
INTERIOR.
As for the interior, the two-seats-only formula offers two sporty but surprisingly comfortable
seats with a special design featuring cushions fitted to a carbon structure so that driver and
passenger are almost "lifted up" by the seat frame, thus ensuring comfort without sacrificing
wraparound and restraining functions.
The dashboard features 3 displays with 3 different functions: the first is dedicated to
monitoring the situation around the car, as if it were a big rear-view mirror, just under the
crossbeam; the second is located in front of the steering wheel showing the general functions
of the car; the third is on the centre console and also includes two handy drink holders, to
manage everything related to entertainment and navigation.
The dashboard is designed in two parts divided by an aluminum slat, which channels the air
flows from the air conditioning: the upper part is a large leather wing, visually reminiscent of a
horse saddle that joins up with the panels, while the lower part is made of Kult fabric in a
dashing colour, in this case orange, to convey freshness, sportiness and also material
innovation.
All the materials, carbon-printed leather from Poltrona Frau and the already mentioned Kult
leather and fabric supplied by PT Pantaloni Torino, have been chosen to convey the idea of
sportiness but also practicality, considering the wide-ranging use of the car.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
The electric platform was developed in collaboration with CH Auto. A carbon fibre body is
set up on an advanced space frame that houses two 180 kW motors. The body is in carbon
fibre while the wings, for minimum weight, are in polycarbonate and the windscreen in glass.
The main dynamic feature, from which the name derives, is the possibility of raising and
lowering the vehicle body by 120mm, via three configurations: Racing (140mm), dedicated to
high speed, Road (190mm) and Off-road (260mm); another feature is the camber of the
wheels that, depending on the configuration, changes to ensure a different degree of
sportiness.
The vehicle can be admired in different configurations: in addition to the running prototype, in
fact, a clay model will show a version with roof and bonnet in exposed carbon. To highlight
the possibilities of extreme use, a model will be fitted with tracks to make it usable for fun on
impervious snow-covered terrains as well as on large stretches of ice.
SUSPENSION SYSTEM.
The front and rear suspensions are made entirely of aluminum and high-strength steel with
double overlapping triangles.
The innovation of this new system is that the shock absorber unit has been replaced with a
new hydraulic system, connected to a fully adjustable 3-way shock absorber.
This hydraulic system allows you to vary vehicle trim and decouple the two springs mounted
on the shock absorber body.
In the Racing and Road configuration, the shock absorber works with a single spring, hence
with a single elastic constant "K" that configures the car with greater specific stiffness.
In the Off-road version, the shock absorber works with two springs in series, hence the
resulting elastic constant "Kr" is much lower: this allows the car to be configured with a lower
specific stiffness. This is the best condition for off-road use, absorbing more road roughness
and also tackling the rough terrain typical of off-roading in absolute comfort.
Vehicle system description:
Integration of the 4WS hydraulic system for maintaining very low turning circles even with the
use of big tyres.
Retractable splitter to improve the off-road qualities of the vehicle by increasing the ramp
angles to values higher than 26°.
