The model's “aeronautical” lines leap out at first impact. A longitudinal polycarbonate cockpit dome emerges on the left fascia while the right side in a central position houses the BMW 12-cylinder 7 Series engine with hydrogen generators. The two argonauts are arranged in tandem in the fuselage, sunk into an ergonomically comfortable and super-assisted wing. The acronym “VAD.HO” refers both to the Vadò region, the Moncalieri industrial area that has been home to Giugiaro's company headquarters since 1974, and to the hydrogen propulsion adopted (H-go).
