A two-seater sports car with a mid-rear engine. The interior is designed to offer two separate cockpits for the driver and passenger, with a seat optically connected to the dashboard. The chassis is made of carbon fibre to ensure lightness, and the car is powered by a 270 hp twin-turbocharged inline-four engine. The design of the concept car features bold lines inspired by the claws of a crab, while the orange colour recalls the traditions of Italian sports cars of the 1970s.
The model was developed in collaboration with Goodyear, Model Resine and NCS - New Cast Services and built by CECOMP
