Evoluzione
From motorcycle to car
The aggressive lines and sharp edges are reminiscent of the Lamborghini Reventon. The design is not about harmony, but about visual shock. Especially in this matte gray color. The car is in two parts, like a motorcycle of which it is a sort of evolution. The front, with its huge, detached, ground-level spoiler that forms a gaping air intake, is reminiscent of the Speed'R presented in Paris in 2010. The rear shows off the engine block, visible as if on a motorcycle. The red-painted tubular chassis seems to link these two parts.
Limited power
The engine might appear to be the Evoluzione's weak point: only 180 hp, whereas sports cars with more than 500 hp were already commonplace at the time. But the car's weight of just 800 kg is sufficiently restrained to ensure that driving sensations are very much in evidence.
For three occupants
The Evoluzione can accommodate three people. The driver sits in a Recaro bucket seat in the center of the car, with passengers on either side of the rear, as in a McLaren F1. Facing the driver is a minimalist dashboard, with a central rev counter like on a Porsche.
Four-wheeled motorcycle
No roof, center-mounted rider, exposed engine, high-mounted exhaust, aggressive design: the Evoluzione evokes a sporty four-wheeled motorcycle. Together with the Speed'R, presented alongside it, it's a magnificent demonstration of the quality of the Espera school's work. Espera students divided into two groups to create this car: one group worked on the mechanical part, the other on the design. For the next concept car, the roles will be reversed.
In brief
1- Exuberant sports roadster
2- Audi engine with only 180 hp
3- Magnificent, highly personal design
