Quaranta is not your normal taxi, it can reach speeds upto 155 mph and can fly 0 to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds.  Powered by the Toyota Synergy Drive found in the Lexus RX400h, it’s complete with 3.3-liter V6, electric motor, continuously variable transmission and supplemented by front mounted solar panels. This eco-friendly automobile was car created to mark the ItalDesign-Giugiaro’s 40th anniversary. One lucky customer said: “This city is so full of traffic that only a helicopter would get you where you want to go faster but at least you arrive in real style.” Very brazen of them, considering the streets in Rome are slightly larger then a bike lane.
