Showcased first at the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, the Nanuk Quattro Concept is essentially an all-wheel drive, V10-diesel powered supercar that has the ability to tackle off-road when the need arises.

Designed by Italdesign Giugiaro, the Nanuk resemebles the design house's concept vehicle based on the same idea: the Parkour Concept. On the outside, it's the sharp creases, wide gaping grille at the front, and the supercar body on big wheels that garner all the attention. And thanks to the adaptive suspension, the height of the vehicle can be increased by 2.76 inches to enable a bit of off-roading.

What's more interesting on this concept is the powerplant. A 5-litre V10 TDI diesel engine makes 544 hp of max power and 1000 Nm of max torque. It's a supercar, after all! It is claimed to do a 0-100kmph in 3.8 seconds while the top speed is rated at 305.7 km/h.
