THE OFF-ROADING SPORTS CAR
Italdesign's Parcour
Unique Off-Roading Vehicle
For off-roading adventures most drivers use specially outfitted Jeeps, trucks and SUVs. We can now add a sport car to that list. Renowned automobile designer Italdesign has created a stunning, super sports car with huge wheels for off-roading fun. It's a supercar called Italdesign Parcour Concept. The vehicle combines the high performance of a race car with the go-anywhere performance of a 4x4. In the global automotive market, this is a unique car and likely the world's first off-roading classic sports car. Italdesign is based in Italy.
Aerodynamic Sports Car
Italdesign is owned by Lamborghini/Audi/VW. It has a rich history of designing VWs and Audi, dating back to the 1970's. The company says the Parcour is a blended combination of an SUV, crossover, grand tourer and mid-engine sports car. The design is a sleek melding of aluminum and carbon fiber for the car's body. Everything about Parcour is aerodynamic. It's slim and lightweight. The sports car is equipped with a 5.2 L Lamborghini V10 mid-rear engine. It pumps out 550 hp and goes from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds. There are four driving modes: regular, off-roading, winter driving and high-speed, racetrack driving. A control device on the dashboard adjusts the car's engine, height and driving behavior for each type of driving mode. Italdesign says they started the Parcour project by asking a simple question: "What kind of car does the world not have and need?". They answered with Parcour - a one-of-a-kind off-roading sports car. For more news stories like this, New Travel Vehicles Illustrated
