Geneva Preview: Caparo-baiting Fioravanti concept draws nigh
by Jonathon Ramsey on Feb 27th 2009 at 3:26PM 
Fioravanti has made a habit of showing interesting things at the Geneva Motor Show. This year it will reportedly be the LF1, a car built to demonstrate the application of Formula 1 design and build techniques to a production vehicle. Done up like the Caparo T1's open-air cousin, the LF1 doesn't look exactly like a production ca,r but we don't know anything further about it yet... except that we look forward to seeing it.
Fioravanti will also evidently be recycling another one of its Geneva concepts from 2000, the TRIS. A tiny subcompact that is also a display of novel build technologies, the car's two doors and hatch are identical, as are the headlights and taillights.[Source: Motor Trend]

What in the hell is that nightmarishly ugly AMC Pacer sort of thing down in the corner?

Can we consider TRIS a true spiritual successor to AMC Pacer?

nice looking race car but where does the engine go? That body does not look like it can accept an engine. Is it electric with in wheel motors?

I said the exact same thing when I saw it. The ONLY thing I can think is that it's a motorcycle (sportbike, not cruiser) engine/transmission.

Fioravani needs to hire better computer illustrators.
