MV Agusta AMG Yellow Concept Design, the future according to Daniele Pelligra [EXCLUSIVE SKETCHS]

Daniele Pelligra did it again! Our designer has put back in front of the white sheet and this time had a clear idea in mind: MV Agusta and Daimler are now part of a single entity, and we already know that AMG will be directly involved in the work of the Italian house. What will come out of the collaboration of two brands so sporting and exclusive?

Daniel tried to imagine the result and you see it in these exclusive sketch that has prepared for Motorionline. This is the MV Agusta AMG Yellow Concept Design, inspired directly by the almost eponymous self-AMG GT Yellow Edition that we had had the opportunity to see also the Paris Motor Show last fall. It is a two-wheeler that the same Pelligra describes as "a bike light and fast, but especially handy in city traffic, worthy rival to the BMW GS, but offering greater lightness in weight and comfort in tracts citizens without sacrificing the amazing performance engine Italian. "

Our Daniel, however, was not limited to imagine the bike, but went even further. He came to conceive even a special helmet, ideally for sale along with the bike, equipped with something that until now we had only seen on cars: the Apple CarPlay. Daniele has imagined a system that EnginePlay exactly how the technology produced by Cupertino could melt helmet, bike and smartphones, as well as to bring to the conditions of the bike rider, consumption, navigation and more.

In short, an incredibly ambitious project. Could become reality? Would you like a MV Agusta so?
