Laffite Barchetta
The Laffite Barchetta by GFG Style Giugiaro.
Vehicle Overview
The Laffite Barchetta has two distinctive hallmarks: two separate seats with two individual windscreens and a Formula 1-derived halo. This ensures exceptional safety and is decidedly unusual for an open, street-legal car. The double windscreen choice was inspired by my Giorgetto Giugiaro’s idea in 1959, which was later revived in the 1988 Aztec prototype. The most recent formal experiment with a similar scheme was proposed with the 2020 Dora concept car, which was actually the initial step in this project. So we attach great value to our advanced research into concept cars, which we never view as an end in themselves. The double cockpit crowned by the large Halo-like structure marks the absolute design novelty. To access the interior, the two cockpits lift independently but simultaneously as the doors, creating a spectacular movement. The front end maintains the Laffite styling cues with the distinctive, well-defined twin headlights separated by a large integrated wing. The stylistic element of the design is clearly the arched structure that gives the side line continuity in its upper part and rests on the large wing-shaped B-pillars. The side design is straightforward but emphasized in the large rear wing. The rear features a continuous upper tail light that doubles as a wing beneath which an exposed carbon component integrates the three elements on each side, providing additional functions to the tail light. The tail part ends high up with a spoiler connected to both extremities. The innovative interior styling comes from the design of the two separate and closable cockpits. The refined design is evident in details such as the centre console, where, in addition to the door functions, there are also two air vents with an integrated display, and in the panels that also feature integrated air vents. The stylistic break between the door panel and the console is symmetrical. The separate driver and passenger instrument panels of the Laffite Barchetta reflect the same style as the other models, featuring a carbon-moulded leather upper part and a beige leather lower part separated by chrome mouldings and sophisticated lighting. There are three monitors on the driver’s side for rear and side vision, while the passenger can also use their monitor for other functions. The steering wheel is high-tech but with a sophisticated design and incorporates all the vehicle’s controls in the central touch display, just like a racing car.
