GFG Style

, the company launched by legendary designer and octogenarian Giorgetto Giugiaro and his son, Fabrizio, are once again bringing a

concept

to the

Geneva Motor Show

next month. It’s rather playfully called the Kangaroo, a two-seat

electric SUV

.

Details are scarce, but the Kangaroo is teased as an “electric hyper-

SUV

” capable of launching from 0 to 62 mph in 3.5 seconds, a top speed of around 155 mph and capable of driving “on any terrain.” GFG is pairing four-wheel-drive and four-wheel steering with the two-seater and swathing it in a carbon-fiber body covering an advanced aluminum space frame, with the

EV

platform developed in concert with CH Auto.

A frontal-view sketch shows a vehicle that might sooner be interpreted as a

sports car

than an SUV, with a curved-dome glasshouse, exaggerated wheel wells and the appearance, anyway, of having a low profile.

GFG Style last year showed

drawings of the Sibylla concept EV

at Geneva, with a physical model unveiled in October at the

Paris Motor Show

. At the time, Fabrizio Giugiaro told

Autoblog

that

two GFG-designed SUVs would launch in 2019 in China

under a Chinese brand name and that GFG planned to open an engineering company in Shanghai with an EV partner by the end of 2018.
