The new GFG electric hyper-suv features two seats, four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering. Kangaroo will jump to 0-100 Km/h in 3.5 seconds and will develop a top speed of over 250 Km/h. On any terrain, says GFG engineers.
The electric car platform has been developed in collaboration with CH Auto and presents a carbon fiber body covering an advanced aluminium space frame.
“Currently – said Fabrizio Giugiaro, who has taken care of the styling with Giorgetto Giugiaro – we are only revealing the “eyes” of this extraordinary concept that, as in our tradition, will be completely unveiled in Geneva and drivable after the show on any terrain”.

GFG Style operates two premises in Moncalieri (Turin): its headquarters and an operational building. Fabrizio and Giorgetto Giugiaro have thus established the conditions that allow them make use of their personal skills to develop automotive projects with the facilities of a new styling center that generates innovative ideas using the most futuristic simulation and virtual reality technologies; the development of models and styling prototypes benefits from the specialist automotive collaboration agreements consolidated in 50 years of activity that the automotive district of Turin can offer.
Today, GFG cars offers the motor industry a wide range of services and consultancies, centred on the conception, design and development of new vehicles and products: from styling to feasibility, modeling and prototyping, right down to the construction of show cars.

The name Sibylla was chosen in reference to the figure from Latin mythology endowedwith the ability to provide answers and predict the future. This connects to the ability of the EnOS™ platform to make the car smart within the wider energy ecosystem, able to provide data from the external world and support the future of e-mobility. It is also a fitting tribute to Giorgetto’s mother, named Sibilla.
