Geneva '08 Video Preview: IED Maserati Chicane and Sfida concepts
With all the big debuts coming from the major automakers, it'd be easy to forget about the student-designed Maserati concepts being unveiled in Geneva next week. But it won't be after you check out this video.
The computer-animated clip after the jump shows the Maserati Chicane concept, drawn up by students at the Turin campus of the European Institute of Design, in all its simulated glory. Check it out from every angle and then watch it head out onto an animated racetrack only to find its rearview mirror full of...what's that? The Sfida, a second Maserati concept drawn up by the transportation-design students. The previously-unseen shooting brake Sfida will make its debut alongside the Chicane coupe at the Geneva show, and we'll be there to bring you all the angles. In the meantime, enjoy the video after the jump.

Yeah actually that was my first thought. Not sure that image will do anything for the brand.

Also a bit of Volvo C30 in the rear hatch design of the Sfida.

Need more than just a better car to save the modern incarnation of Knight Rider...
That movie was absolutely shocking. Acting was bad. Special effects were bad too. Even worse is that you could really tell a lot of the car work was done at slower speeds then sped up in post. Bad, bad, bad.

What about Infiniti G35?
Someone always says that a concept/new car looks like the G35 :)

And I who thought IED meant improvised explosive device. Though using a Maserati concept for such would be a horrible waste.

A more aggressive Buick Riviera concept. Not sure about the door-mounted portholes.

* Kinda looks like the Grand Sport suffered Anorexia & Bulimia at the same time.
To me, this doesn't say Maserati, but it does remind me of TRON a bit.
NOT a balanced design. And NO it wont grow on me. Sorry.
Make Maserati what they deserve to be. Incredibly opulant sports cars.
0-60=5 seconds? Yawn...
