The car is 4530 mm long, 2070 mm wide, 1335 mm high, and its mass is 1.550 kg. Parcour is design with doors that open vertically, powered by an engine that was taken from the Gallardo model and from a distance he could “pass” as a Lamborghini car.
A 5.2-liter V10 engine that develops 550 hp and is located behind the passenger cabin. The engine is connected to the seven-speed automatic transmission with double clutch, and power is transmitted to all four wheels with a diameter of 22 inches. The concept is able to accelerate to 60mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 200mph.
