Maya

Giugiaro’s main objective was to contain industrialization investments as much as possible: the Engineering and Development Division availed itself of materials and constructional technologies already used by the major car manufacturers worldwide. Therefore, the Maya was deliberately made to appear realistic. At first glance the coupe makes a very aggressive impression; its wedge-shape reflects the tradition of Giugiaro's most penetrating silhouettes Mangusta, Boomerang, Tapiro), while embodying the softness of line necessary for good aerodynamic efficiency. The layout of shape shows traces of its American destination: the front and rear soft-nose bumpers (deformable plastic shell filled with polyurethane resins) extend to the wheel arches and are visually aligned by a groove that runs along the sides.
