Italdesign Structura with 420HP W12 Spotted in Monaco

Now here's a car you don't ever expect to see driving on the road among ordinary vehicles. As was the case with Italdesign's one-off Ferrari-based GG50 that we showed you in a previous article, the uniquely styled 1998 Structura concept minivan car was also 'scooped' on the streets of Monaco. While not everyone may like the vehicle's unconventional design, you have to admit that its styling has aged well if you consider that it was conceived 11 years ago, in 1998 on the occasion of the company's thirtieth anniversary.

Italdesign Structura Concept - CarscoopUnderneath its exposed aluminum space-frame structure -hence the concept's name- the 4,640mm or 181-inches long minivan features a Volkswagen-derived, front-mounted 5.6-liter W12 engine that cranks out an impressive 420HP that is sent to all four wheels.

If you happen to stumble upon any weird or unique vehicles like the Italdesign Structura, take a picture or two and send us an e-mail, we'll deeply appreciate it!
