Lamborghini Gallardo-based Ital Design Giugiaro Parcour in action

 

The Ital Design Giugiaro Parcour made its world dynamic debut inside the Michelin Supercar Run in the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It is the work of Volkswagen-owned styling house ItalDesign Giugiaro, and also the Parcour could be driven on-road, off-road, and all around the track, and top 200mph inside the right conditions.  It's essentially a Lamborghini Gallardo with a chance to raise its suspension for any 100mph dash over the desert.

The Parcour, first seen in the Geneva motor show in March, was created specifically by ItalDesign vice chairman Fabrizio Giugiaro, son of chairman and design legend Giorgetto Giugiaro, for their own personal use. “I wanted an extreme SUV using the pleasure of the mid-engined layout but one that may be used everywhere, ” he told Autocar. “I have experienced a Gallardo since 2002, however it wasn’t always perfect for visiting the seaside or up straight into the mountains.

”The two-seater, developed as both coupe and roadster, is named following the sport parkour, to adapt the body to cross obstacles in a given environment. Beneath the Parcour's bodywork lies the Gallardo’s 542bhp 5. 2-litre V10 and all-wheel drive system. Four different driving modes can be found : comfort, off-road, winter and track. It‘s roughly a similar length and width like a Range Rover Evoque but is considerably lower. It weighs 1550kg and can also crack 0-62mph in 3. 6sec, having a 199mph top speed.

Italdesign claims a brand new kinds of suspension system to the Parcour. It‘s a pushrod-style set-up, however the pushrods are replaced by eight coil-overs, two each and every corner. This really is said to better blend on-road and off-road performance. The car has more ground clearance than an Audi Q7 (its ride height could be hydraulically adjusted inside a vary from 210mm to 330mm ) and, riding on 22inch alloys, has ramp angles greater when compared to a Land Rover Defender.
