Italdesign Brivido
motor vehicle
The Italdesign Brivido is a hybrid sports car concept made by Italian design house Italdesign Giugiaro. It is not slated to go into production. Giugiaro says it is designed to give supercar-like performance while helping protect the earth. It was introduced in 2012 at the Geneva Motor Show.
Features
One of the Brivido's conceptual features is its side mirrors which, rather than being actual side mirrors, are cameras which connect to small displays either side of the steering wheel. It also has a 3D infotainment system with 3D glasses. The concept car is painted in Xirallic pearl lustre red. The interior is sewn with raw cut skins. It also has gull-wing doors with inbuilt cushions, which allow for easy access of the front and rear seats. The Brivido was one of the first cars in the world to have headlight clusters.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Italdesign Brivido”, the useful work is to connect “motor vehicle” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 17, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q16566719. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2012.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
