With adjustable suspension that varies the ground clearance between 8 and 11 inches, it is ideal for both challenging terrain and high-speed stability. Details such as an integrated minibar and a removable roof add a touch of luxury and functionality.

The Quintessenza’s futuristic and angular design is inspired by iconic Italdesign projects, such as the Maserati Boomerang and BMW M1, and evokes the modern aesthetics of vehicles like the Subaru BRAT and XT Turbo. Although not intended for production, the concept incorporates sustainable materials and advanced technologies, including electric motors in the wheels. The rear bed, accessible by removing the rigid roof, enhances its versatility, while rotating seats and a sliding console create an adaptable and innovative space.

The launch of the Quintessenza marks Italdesign’s expansion into the United States, with its new headquarters in Detroit. This concept highlights the company’s ability to collaborate with car manufacturers and startups to develop future projects. With over 55 years of experience and heading toward its 60th anniversary, Italdesign continues to lead the industry with visionary ideas, reaffirming its reputation as a pioneer in automotive design.
