The Panarella PR5 concept is a creation of Italian designer
Davide Panarella (see also Audi
QxP).
The PR5 is a futuristic city car concept designed for
a fictional 2020 urban environment. The PR5 concept anticipates
cities and highways of the future will be fully equipped
to handle the needs of vehicles powered solely by electricity,
therefore the concept has been designed to be driven by
a pair of electric motors housed at the base of the large
rear wheels. This drivetrain would offer a top speed of
90 mph (145 km/h) - not that fast but then this car is
all about economical city driving, not motorway cruising.
The unusual styling of the Panarella PR5 was influenced
by insects, partially because of the their ability to
adapt to a wide variety of different locations, but mainly
by their protective, cocoon like shape.
The interior of the PR5 has been designed to accommodate
two people.
