01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Giugiaro Brivido, a masterpiece crafted by Italdesign, seamlessly blends cutting-edge technology with avant-garde design, showcasing a harmonious fusion of aluminum, glass, and carbon fiber. This remarkable vehicle is a testament to innovation in the automotive industry, pushing the boundaries of both performance and aesthetics. In the rear section of the Giugiaro Brivido, a dynamic element captures attention – a movable spoiler designed to enhance aerodynamics. Activated automatically at a speed threshold of 80 km/h, this feature underlines the vehicle’s commitment to optimal performance and efficiency. The gull-wing configuration of the doors not only adds a touch of futuristic flair but also serves as a functional and stylish entry point. The suspension system of the Giugiaro Brivido is a testament to engineering excellence, with double wishbone suspensions at the front and a multilink setup at the rear. This sophisticated system is complemented by a gas leveling system, ensuring a smooth and responsive driving experience. The absence of traditional rear-view mirrors is a bold move, replaced instead by two cameras projecting real-time images to small monitors flanking the steering wheel, elevating safety and modernity. Under the hood, the Giugiaro Brivido houses a potent Volkswagen V6 3.0 engine paired with an electric motor, resulting in a formidable hybrid system. This dynamic duo produces a total power output of 300 horsepower, accompanied by an impressive torque of 600 Nm. The symbiotic collaboration of the combustion engine and electric motor enables the Giugiaro Brivido to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.8 seconds, reaching a top speed of 275 km/h. In essence, the Giugiaro Brivido is not merely a vehicle; it is an automotive masterpiece, marrying performance, design, and sustainability in a breathtaking showcase of what is possible when innovation takes the driver’s seat.
