A variety of interesting concepts are on their way to the Geneva Motor Show this year, but when it comes to offering something unique and different, Ed Design just may take the cake. The Italy-based company is known for fashioning concept vehicles for marques like Alfa Romeo, Ferrari,and Maserati, but this latest creation is something completely from out in left field.
Facts are scarce, to say the least, with the above teaser image and only a handful of details, but here is what we know so far: the Torq was designed to be a two-seat racer with an all-electric drivetrain and fully autonomous capabilities.
