GFG Style, together with Envison Energy, has brought
a highly efficient and fast sedan concept to the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The
concept is over 5 meters long and stands 1.48 meters tall,
boasting electric propulsion and a surprisingly accessible, well lit cockpit,
with a panoramic view. In order to get in, the driver has to slide the
windscreen forward by 750 mm, which then closes automatically along
with the doors once the occupants are seated.
Aside from the large dome roof and missing
A-pillars, other standout features include the large 22-inch wheels, sharp
horizontal headlights with a distinctive illuminated pattern, two spoilers and
two air intakes on either side of the grille, plus an additional spoiler right
underneath.
One of the Sibylla’s most interesting features
though is its front stop light – yes, you read that correctly. Although no
vehicle is obligated by law to feature such a thing, the Sibylla does, and can
give pedestrians a sort of assurance when crossing the road, as they receive
visual confirmation that the approaching car is indeed braking/slowing down.
The interactive front grille can also share information regarding battery
charge status, and not just movement alerts for braking or turning.
Inside, there are multiple displays powered by
Envision’s EnOS platform, allowing this concept to provide its four passengers
with outside environment info, such as the weather report, driving conditions,
the location of the nearest charging point and so on.
Now, if you think the steering wheel looks a bit
weird, that’s because it actually comes with aircraft-style yoke commands,
while touch pads are positioned at thumb level to help the driver keep his or
her eyes fixed on the road. The cabin is finished in Poltrona Frau leather,
while the inside of the backrests comes with an innovative sensor, programmed
to detect sudden changes in passengers’ physical condition, such as variations
in blood pressure and heart rate.
Finally, in a straight line, the all-wheel drive,
full electric Sibylla can hit 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds thanks to
its total power output of 536 HP, aided by its four electric motors
and 100 kWh battery. The all electric range is rated at 450 km,
whereas the maximum speed is simply said to be over 200 km/h.
