Inovo
Lirica
The
Lirica concept which Inovo Design presented to the world at the 2006 Geneva
Motor Show was a proposal for a luxury 2+2 coupe.
Inovo
Design is an Italy-based product and automotive design consultancy which was
established in 1995 by Maurizio Ficcadenti.
In
creating the Lirica concept the company set out to create a vehicle which was
modern in appearance and design, but with classic proportions and layout.
This
has resulted in a pleasant but relatively dull overall shape. Yes it might not
be ugly - and that's a good thing. However it's also not interesting enough to
really grab your attention, and for a small company looking to make a big
splash that's not good. But then again, considering the project went from
sketches to prototype in just eight weeks it's not a bad effort.
While
the exterior of the Inovo Lirica could be counted as a moderate success, the
interior sadly looked like something out of an 80's sci-fi movie. Even when you
take into account the virtual instrumentation displays and integrated Windows
XP system with Wi-Fi internet connection it was poorly executed.
Mounted
up front was a V8 engine which sent all its power to the rear wheels.
