The latest concept from Italdesign debuted earlier at the Beijing Auto Show 2024, introducing the world to the all-terrain luxury performance electric vehicle Quintessenza. This electric vehicle can transform into a pickup truck but is closed off in its rolling liftback-esque rear trunk. It features a rugged but sleek and modern design that completely revamps the renowned Porsche 911 Dakar.

It is a hybrid of a GT and pickup vehicle, a luxurious take on the famed rally car from the German automotive brand.

This is an Italian design take on the famed Porsche 911 Dakar, capturing its capabilities to go both on and off-road. It features a 777-horsepower electric motor. It is a two-door GT that can seat four, with the rear seats offering a 180-degree ‘stargazing’ mode and a rolling enclosure for the liftback-style trunk.

Its concept video offers a way to maximize a camping trip and camp out in style, one that appeases adventurers and will help them get anywhere with the concept EV.

Auto Show’s Top Concept EVs

Auto Shows bring some of the best concept cars in the world, with the shift to electric power now being one of the top focuses of different designers, brands, and manufacturers. In the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show, Mattel introduced the Barbie Extra, an electric vehicle that used the Fiat 500e as its base vehicle but was designed to bring the famed personality of the doll.

In 2023, the IAA Mobility motor show in Munich introduced one of the world’s most famous German luxury brands, its new Concept CLA Class EV. This focuses on an electric car made under the revolutionary Mercedes-Benz Modular Architecture (MMA), which will shift towards this by late 2024. The company claims that production will start making it a full-fledged EV.

Some of the best vehicles introduced to the world started as concepts and via auto shows, featuring different focuses like luxury, performance, rally, and more. Many went on the electric vehicle path.

Italdesign’s take on improving the Porsche Dakar is here with the Quintessenza, offering a 777-horsepower electric vehicle that can transform into a classic pickup of the 90s, conceptualizing a luxury, all-terrain car.
