New Show Car w/ Weird Windows

I just saw a new Pinnin Farina show car on the net. It is named the Sintesi.
It is a 4-door, 4-seater with some kind of hybrid drive.
It has weird split side-windows which are reminiscent of a certain 1989 show car built by another Italian design house, that we all know and love.
Did I mention that it is AWD?

Can't find it

Can anybody figure out the shift mechanism? I don't see anything available, but I know there has to be something.

My guess would be a pushbutton setup. The guage panel appears to be a touch screen, so maybe there?

There's definately more than a hint of "I, Robot" in the design of this car. I like the design personally. I probably wouldn't buy one, but it's quite nice.

Not AWD, but still kicks like a goat. And these windows were done at the same time as the SVX!

Hi Olu,

Good to hear from you. Hope you are AOK. How's the A-8?

The car photo that you posted is not the Sintesi. The Sintesi is electric drive with a motor on each wheel.

Are you coming up to Reading?

Right you are, Larry. The car I posted has one motor with house-dropping torque. Though a concept, the Sintesi would probably be easier to buy ... but it's all about the windows!

No longer have the A8; swapped it out for the car pictured below. This one also kicks like a mule, but not like the wee silver car; it has much, much shorter legs. But it can still give the Sintesi a good scare.

I'll definitely be putting Genny on the road to Reading this year! She looks diff'rent from the other Kids so I'll, err, park her out back.

Olu,

Even though this club (Network/Yahoo Group) is based on a wonder automobile (the SVX), it is the amazing people that make this truly great. You are one of those, and an original SVXer.
So, park Genny out front where everyone can check her out.

The chairs don't look comfy though... and I think the glowing dash might freak me out a little.. or blind me at night.. Love to see it on the streets, but I'll stick to my little future car.
