Pininfarina Cambiano Concept: The One That Got Away

The 2012 Geneva Motor Show was a smorgasbord of automotive excess. For proof of its kaleidoscopic scope, consider that despite our expansive coverage, we still couldn't feature every oddity in the show-- like this Pininfarina Cambiano concept.

Inside, wood repurporsed from the European oak poles used to mark channels in the Venice lagoon (known as?briccole) wears the surface scars from mollusks, offering a textural contrast to the ultrasmooth seats. A timepiece by?Bovet 1822 can be removed from the dash and worn as a wristwatch...

... beneath the skin, an electric motor at each wheel provides power, peaking at 600 kW, combined. Similar to the Jaguar C-X75 concept, the Cambiano recharges its batteries with a?diesel-fueled 50 kW Bladon Jet turbine.

So, how about the exterior?

Well, we don't think it lives up to the cabin, and that's putting it politely...?but hey, concepts push boundaries for a reason, right? That's why we can fall in love with an interior, and just as easily write off the sheetmetal.
