Bizzarrini Manta VS Giugiaro Quaranta

Premiered at the 2008 Geneva International Motor Show, The “Quaranta” project is a concept car designed to celebrate Italdesign Giugiaro’s fortieth anniversary.

Despite its flat, highly compact shape, the Quaranta features a single-volume shape, characterized by a continuous body line stretching from its clipped nose to the tail that exploits the almost horizontal rake of the windscreen, as a hommage to the 1968 Bizzarrini Manta which, at that time, represented a major breakthrough in styling.

Let’s analyze together the design of the two Giugiaro concept cars.

The Siata 1100 GT shares its bodywork with the Fiat 1100 Charmant, both made by Vignale. Designed by Michelotti, this little yellow gem is part of the Milano Classiche collection in the province of Varese, near Milan.
