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. 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. The Orbit would be developed further into the
Italdesign Machimoto, shown the same year.
Interior Inside it featured a unique digital instrument cluster. ==References==
