Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Featuring a classic 9,500 rpm V12 engine at its core, and a structurally integrated 400 Kw electric engine to boot, this hybrid supercar was born for driving. The Intrigo features active aero for its downforce and cooling, as well as some of the lowest drag coefficients ever seen on a supercar. Moreover, it features regenerative braking, allowing for extended range on battery use. Lastly, it contains a panoramic sunroof, for minimalist styling with maximum effect.
- Inspiration
- Within the world of supercars today, there are a plethora of designs and concepts utilizing gas engines or electric power. However, the concept of a hybrid car is a path not well travelled. Giving the driver the ability of either using gas power, electric power, or both simultaneously, is a sense of freedom and control perfect for touring. Additionally, combining classic designs and styling with modern-day technology and aerodynamics was a design philosophy incorporated into this project. Much of what was developed before we take for granted, as at times current designs are not as robust or simple.
- Research
- A continued research process formed the basis of my project. The process had two parts: an individual analysis and extensive sketches of ideas through CAD software in which out-of-the-box designs could be pioneered. The concepts were developed through probing texts, articles, interviews with experts, and personal experiences. In this case, the objective was to ensure the designs were as abstract and futuristic as possible, whilst at the same time being practical and trail-blazing.
- Challenge
- Certainly, the largest hill to climb concerning the design was fitting all modes of power into the design, whilst featuring adequate cooling, as well as a dynamic suspension system. Inserting such design elements into the design was no small feat, especially with the importance of ensuring safety and ease of repairability within the design. As such, we designed the front end to be safer in collisions, balanced the weight of the car, and placed several airbags around the cockpit to ensure drivers are protected in a crash.
- Realization and Technology
- Intrigo project is planned as a virtual prototype to test materials and technologies.
- Project Duration and Location
- Work on the project began and remained in Montecatini Terme, because of the pandemic. The location had helped to inspire critical aspects of the design. The project began in 2021, and was completed in roughly one year later. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, project duties slowed down, yet ideas on the project and its market impact were constantly analyzed.
- Specifications
- Engine V12 730Hp with 4 electric engines on each axle for a total of 1130Hp. 16 Battery Cells. Wheelbase 2754mm, Overall Lenght 4876mm, Overall Width 2115mm, Overall Height 1092mm, Front Track 1680mm, Rear Track 1720mm. Estimated Dry Weight 1750Kg. Weight Distribution, Front Rear, 43,57. Estimated Top Speed over 400Km/h.
