Giugiaro Quaranta Concept Fully Revealed, Has Toyota Hybrid Drive Under Strangely Sloping Hood-Windshield Thing

The Giugiaro folks have been teasing us for days with cropped crap shots of the Quaranta concept car they'll be revealing at the Geneva Motor Show next week. Now we've got a set of press photos of the edgy wedge that's been four decades in the coming in all of its full glory. Oh, and we told you it'd be greener around the gills, but did we tell you it's getting Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive? No? Well it will. Again we must tell you — look, but don't touch. We wouldn't want you to hurt yourself on all those sharp pointy parts. Full commentary from the boys at World Car Fans after the jump.

Giugiaro Quaranta: Giugiaro Concept Named, Third Set Of Teaser Shots Dropped

The good little Italian boys n' girls over at Italdesign have gone ahead and released their third batch of teaser shots of the car we're very much looking forward to seeing in Geneva next month, the Giugiaro Quaranta. We've already shown you a few shots and this hot load rounds out the threesome of teaser shots from the Italian design shop. Oh and yes, that's right — we were also very much right on the name — it's the Quaranta which is Italian for forty. Qua-ran-ta! Quah-ran-tah! Qua-rahn-ta! No matter how you say it, it's sure fun to pronounce, isn't it? Probably as much fun as it'll be to see in person. We'll be careful to not cut our fingers on those sharp lines and creases.

Giugiaro Continues To Tease, Releases Another Mystery Concept Photo Ahead of Geneva

Giugiaro has released another teaser image of its forthcoming Geneva concept car. So far nameless, commenter Mark Miller has made an educated guess that it'll be called Quaranta - Italian for forty. 2008 is ItalDesign's 40th birthday. We also predict some sort of hypothetical green power plant, you know the kind that is supposedly capable of saving the world, but is really just some hot air stored under a heavily tinted engine cover. All the speculation will end on March 4th, when the vehicle is officially revealed at the Geneva Motor Show. [Via Giugiaro]
