Italdesign Giugiaro didn't disappoint at the Geneva Motor Show, revealing a new wedge-shaped hybrid sports-car concept called the Namir. The project was developed in cooperation with British carmaker Frazer Nash.
Besides the Namir's radical styling, what draws attention are Italdesign Giugiaro's claims: To put it simply, the Namir prototype is said to be the fastest yet also the most environmentally-friendly hybrid in the world.
Turin, Italy-based Italdesign Giugiaro says power for the Namir would come from an electric motor in conjunction with a "medium-powered" engine. The result would be a top speed of 186 mph, with 0–62 mph (100 km/h) in less than 4 sec. All this, while achieving a claimed 117.6 mpg with CO2 emissions of just 50 g/km. Of course, those numbers are all theoretical since the Namir is simply a concept at this point.
