GFG Style unveils concept car Sibylla GG80 at Paris Motor Show 2018

2 October 2018

Paris, 2 October 2018 – GFG Style unveils GFG Sibylla GG 80, equipped with an electric powertrain and custom battery pack designed and built by Podium Advanced Technologies.

2018 marks Giorgetto Giugiaro’s 80th birthday: this car is a celebration of a lifetime dedicated to iconic automotive design.

A four-door luxury sedan, the car incorporates innovative solutions in terms of accessibility, functionality, and aesthetics. It revisits classic themes; it is elegant, with generous dimensions (over 5 metres long and 1.48 metres high). The choice of electric propulsion enhanced the interior space and allowed Giorgetto and Fabrizio Giugiaro to revolutionize accessibility and exploit this space by introducing rational, functional, ergonomic solutions both inside and outside of the vehicle.

Working for Superstile – the Turin based specialist in show cars, master models, maquette and prototypes who built the GFG Sibylla GG80 – Podium Advanced Technologies designed and built the custom battery pack, the powertrain and the rear suspension system.

Sibylla project boasts two 160 KW electric motors and is equipped with a 75 kWh custom battery pack for a 450 km full electric range. Maximum speed is over 200 km/h with an acceleration 0 – 100 km/h in 4 s.
