We all know that the independent designers create exciting concepts for the auto shows. And the Chicane concept car is one of them. The car was designed by the graduate students at the Instituto Europeo di Design, which is coming to Geneva with this full-size concept Maserati.
The Chicane concept is a take on what the upcoming entry-level Maserati sports coupe could look like. Like the GranTurismo, the Chicane is a 2+2 with a front-mounted V8 driving the rear wheels, but while it retains certain Maserati design elements, the IED students have done away with some of the elegance of the GranTurismo in favor of more sportiness: at 4.4 meters long, it's some 400mm shorter than the Pininfarina-designed GT, and it ditches the chrome for a more menacing look.
The design for the Chicane was penned by Dmytro Zyubyairov (Ukraine) and Oscar Palladino (Italy), and was chosen from among 17 design proposals by a jury that included Maserati's and Fiat AG's chief designers. The IED display at the upcoming Geneva show will also include a video of a second Maserati concept called the Sfida, a 2+1 shooting brake, and three Toyota design projects.
