OUTLANDISH ON-OFF ROAD CONCEPT FROM ItalDesign
This is one of the most interesting cars from the Geneva show. The Parcour is essentially based on the Lamborghini Gallardo and it uses the same 5.2-litre V10 engine that sends 550PS to all four wheels. The Parcour's party trick, however, is its go almost anywhere ability. The car uses a trick version of pushrod suspension where the pushrods themselves have been replaced by coilover springs which makes for a total of 8 springs. The car can now be raised upto a massive 330mm allowing it to be driven in offroad conditions and even on ice. Conversely the car can be dropped low for track driving. This suspension setup supposedly allows for stiffness when in track mode and a supple, absorptive nature when in offroad setting. It's an unsual concept and we can't help but spot some influence from the legendary Lancia Stratos.
