Overview
Background
The Orbit was a further refinement of previous Italdesign concepts such as the Alfa Romeo New York Taxi (1976), Lancia Megagamma (1978), Capsula (1982) and Together (1984). The concept was built on a Volkswagen Golf Mk2 platform, specifically the new Syncro.[2] The goal was to produce a car around 4 metres in length. The concept was 15cm taller than the existing Volkswagen Golf and featured a large amount of glass.[3]
The Orbit would be developed further into the Italdesign Machimoto,[4] shown the same year.[5]
Interior
Inside it featured a unique digital instrument cluster.[6]
