The seemingly endless stream of teasing on part of the Italian design houses continues as Giugiaro's Italdesign releases two more preview shots of its concept, now revealed to be called the Quaranta in commemoration of the studio's 40th anniversary, which will be presented at next week's Geneva Motor Show.
The pair of additional images, which accompany the three shots trickled out until now, all but completely reveal the concept's design, all angular and sharp creases, in stark contrast to the swooping curves of arch-rival Pininfarina's Sintesi show car. Of course, we'll be on hand at the show to bring you the best shots in true Autoblog style, but feel free to check out the growing gallery below to see what's been revealed so far.

eeep, it's the eighties a over. Where as the lambos can currently pull this sort of aggressive angular look off, this... well... simply looks like an eighties show concept revisited.

my first thoughts.
though the Wraith was a much better 80s concept car.
Dude @ Feb 28th 2008 12:31PM
I thought this too.

BUT. it has that overused new millenial front fender! Shaped like the wheel below it, completely discontinuous with the rest of the body.... like the current MB S Class, and most mazdas, and whoever else, as well!

i know what you mean.
i feel like it belongs as the vehicle on an old cult movie..ie 'amazon women on the moon' or something.
still want to see the whole thing..... guess that's the idea teasing images.

My first thought was "Back To The Future" but I dont hate it so far.

Anyone know where this gravel pit shoot location is at? I remember seeing many cars being shot there, including the Alfa 8C Concept when it first appeared.

It reminds me a LOT of the Dome Zero:

I don't think it's such a bad thing, as 80's and 90's design will soon be hip for the "retro" factor. I wonder if the slits in the side skirts are heat extractors or just cheese grater goodness.
