Quintessenza – dynamic GT that can be turned into a pick-up truck

Italian design and engineering company Italdesign revealed the futuristic GT concept Quintessenza, which can easily be transformed into a pickup.

Quintessenza brings a design that combines the sporty and dynamic character of the GT with the character of a pickup. Sculpted aerodynamic body, high ground clearance and the size of the vehicle are the first things that attract attention. The car has a wheelbase of 3.2 meters, and for the sake of comparison it is longer than the shortest version of the Ford F-150.

The concept in the photos is finished in dark color and is decorated with black wide fenders, scissor doors, 24-inch wheels and a large windshield that extends to the rear, and the rear part of the roof can be removed turning the car into a pickup. The ground clearance can be increased up to 280 mm, making it suitable for off-road driving.

The cockpit of the vehicle is minimalisticly designed with an interface system that is compatible with numerous smartphone models, through which the functions of driving mode, speed, direction indicators, battery level, date and time can be managed. The central part of the cabin is occupied by a large central console, and thanks to the large glass roof, passengers can enjoy more natural light, which gives the feeling of more space. The rear pair of seats can be rotated 180 degrees to give passengers a rearward view.

The Quintessenza concept is powered by three electric motors, one at the front and two at the rear pair of wheels, with a total power of 777 hp (579 kW), which is enough to accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than three seconds. It is equipped with a 150 kWh battery, and Italdesign did not reveal more technical details about this concept.

BMW Vision Neue Klasse – The car of the future

IAA MOBILITY has started and it seems that German car manufacturers are the most active when it comes to new concepts and production cars. BMW is one of them, and the Bavarian company presented a concept with a vision of the future that pays respects to the past, BMW Vision Neue Klasse.

With this concept, BMW enters a new era of individual mobility, continuing on the path of the previously presented Vision Circular and Vision Dee concepts. “With the Neue Klasse concept, we are embarking on the largest investment in the history of the company. We are not only writing the next chapter of BMW, we are also writing a whole new book,” said Frank Weber, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG.

The car with a focus on clean vision with sharp and clean lines is equipped with a completely new front fascia, lots of glass, high design lounge interior, lovely fabrics and soft plastic. The interior is decorated with yellow lounge-style seats that we will hardly see in any other car, at least in the near future. There is also a new generation iDrive system as well as BMW Panoramic Vision which, on the lower part of the windshield, provides information such as navigation, speed and etc.

With new possibilities and solutions, the BMW Vision Neue Klasse provides a new experience, creating an insight into the new future. Also, BMW claims that this car will feature 30 percent more range, 30 percent faster charging, and 25 percent more efficiency.

Ford Mustang shooting brake

After the recently introduced seventh generation of the legendary Mustang that brings what it has been known for for more than 5 decades, rumors have started about the design of the “Shooting brake” version of this car. This is unofficial, and the design was done by X-Tomi Design.

This is not the only project of this creative artist. Some of his latest projects are: Ford Mustang Pickup, Jeep Avenger Cabrio, Nissan X-Trail 3door, etc. But let’s go back to the “Shooting brake” version. Although we can’t see the entire design of the car, which certainly won’t delight everyone, let’s take a look at what it offers. The car has Racing Red body color. The front of the car is a standard Mustang design, while the rear features larger bumpers that match the dropping roof design, giving a more muscular look to the rear of the car. We can’t be sure if this project will ever come to life, as earlier this month we saw several sketches of a four-door sports sedan that Ford abruptly stopped talking about.

Recently unveiled Mustang Dark Horse will be offered in two body styles (Coupé and Cabrio). Both versions come with a lot of additional equipment (optional) and a lot of personalization options as well as a significantly changed interior design. This includes higher quality materials and fewer analogies. The old instrument panel has been replaced by an adaptive 12.4-inch display in combination with a high-resolution 13.2-inch display of the multimedia system.

Under the hood will be a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine with 500 hp (368 kW). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual or ten-speed automatic transmission. Ford has not yet announced technical data and performance.
