Building on the sporty greenness of its wicked Quaranta concept from last year’s Geneva show, Italdesign Giugiaro has now revealed what it claims is the “world’s fastest hybrid.” Called the Namir (which is Arabic for “tiger”), the car will debut during the 2009 edition of the Geneva show. Working in cooperation with Frazer-Nash, a U.K.-based engineering firm specializing in hybrid drivetrains, Giugiaro has penned another green machine that appeals to boy-racers and eco-warriors alike.
The wedge-shaped Namir stretches 179.5 inches in length. From some angles, the mid-engine hybrid coupe has a hint of Lamborghini Gallardo to it, particularly in the rear fenders. But the dramatic arc of the V-shaped windshield and the angular cuts in the rear hood prove that, after 40 years in the business, Giugiaro can still conjure up one achingly cool sports car.
