Description
- Text originally from the DaVinci's Italdesign Project page.
The DaVinci is a design concept for a Gran Turismo with a 100% electric drive. Its sporty nature combines with utmost refined elegance in both its exterior lines and interior design, placing it firmly in the premium segment.
Measuring 4,981mm in length and 2,124mm in width, it can comfortably seat four passengers. Its 2,900mm wide wheelbase and reduced overhangs confirm its sporting focus also in aesthetic terms, emphasised by a ground clearance of just 119mm.
In keeping with its tradition, the Italdesign Innovation Design Department headed by Filippo Perini, conceived the design of this concept car so that with just a few adjustments it can easily be adapted to series production and the family feeling of several brands. The few ‘exotic’ features typical of a showcar are concentrated in the expansive gullwing doors, which allow both the front and rear seats to be accessed at the same time, as well as in the rear optical units and aerodynamic lateral tailfins integrated in the doors.
Contrast is a key aesthetic leitmotif of the DaVinci’s overall design: the final effect is that of a classic, harmonious, well-proportioned and elegant premium vehicle, while some details, such as the front end or rear optical units, represent strongly discontinuous elements.
The fully electric setup has allowed the designers to reinterpret some elements of Italdesign’s recent models, taking them to extremes. For example, this is the case of the Y Duct, included for the first time in the 2017 Zerouno. The DaVinci’s bonnet air duct system is clearly a more prominent feature. Since no traditional radiator grille had to be incorporated, the apertures that form the Y Duct in this case occupy much of the vehicle’s front end and bonnet surface, determining its general design.
The vehicle’s rear end expressly evokes the Italian GT tradition, featuring a classic truncated tail, which combines an aesthetic element with aerodynamic function. The active spoiler, located above the optical units, features a wraparound design, extending to the sides.

Performance
The Italdesign DaVinci has similar performance to the Porsche Taycan Turbo S with similar acceleration and handling, but has a slightly slower top speed and worse nitro.
Availability
The Italdesign DaVinci's 
blueprints were first obtainable from its own Car Hunt event, which was only held when the car was added to the game. Following the conclusion of the Car Hunt event, the car's blueprints were made obtainable from 1 vs. 1 Tournament, which typically runs for 1 week in the middle of an ongoing season. At least 6 victories are required for guaranteed blueprints.

- Starting rank: 1126
- PRO rank: 1344

Performance
As a Festival car, the DaVinci has very poor performance in respect to its rank until it reaches the full-PRO upgrade level.
