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.
