BIO I was born in 28 August 1990. I’m a third year student
of transportation design, I study at IED (istituto europeo di design), in Turin, a city in the north of Italy. Now I live here, but my “real home” is in Brescia, another small city in the north of Italy. In high school I attended Scientific Lyceum, and then I ‘ve passed two years in university of mechanical engineering in Brescia. I’ve a lot of hobbies in my life, I like snowboarding, mountainbike, wakeboarding, music, but my real passion is automotive world. After my working year I discovered the car design. I like so much drawing, but my real passion is here, in automotive parts and car news. I like cars since I was I child, and this experince for me is a dream, a dream that I hope will became my future.

Mazda NOUN (shell), is a car designed for the Japanese sports car market, which tries to solve the problems that the holders of the latter must deal with, especially issues related to the difficulties of a supercar respond to different types of ground. The concept was born from entomology, or the study of insects and their physiognomy, introducing enhancements derived from this in the car world.

The suspension of the car is directly connected inside of the car so as to provide maximum comfort to the driver and passenger. In this way, the car can travel on different types of terrain while keeping constant its performance.

The car is equipped with four electrical motors fed by a single large battery on the rear of the car. The concept of sospesione is turned upside down, the wheels of the car are in fact “linked� to the car body through the mobile arms, able to adapt in the best possible way to any type of soil. The car in fact has different driving settings, which are controlled by the co-pilot seat behind the driver. All this keeping the soul of a supercar, low, sports and enjoyable to drive.

The interior of mazda NOUN is inspired by the MOTION CAPTURE TECHNOLOGY used in films to reproduce the movement of the actors on the screen. Driver and co-pilot are in fact interconnected with the car, and are able to interact with it through their movement. Thanks to this, the pilot feels fully involved in driving and becomes one with the car.

The co-pilot in the rear seat controls the car aero parts (spoilers, flaps, ...) and any trim that the car can take depending on the type of terrain you are driving.

Thanks to the comands on the “arms�of the interior, the pilot can drive his car and felling completely involved in the driving.

Alfa Romeo ORIGO nasce dall’idea di voler tornare alle origini della mitica Alfa Brera, cercando, senza rinunciare alla sua sportività, di renderla un’auto adatta alla famiglia, più comoda e più spaziosa della sua precorritrice. L’auto che ne è scaturita è un ottimo mix di sportività, eleganza e comodità, attraverso un segmento che risulta essere più grande rispetto a una normale coupè e che favorisce il guidatore grazie allo spazio al suo interno, ma che allo stesso tempo mantiene il carattere forte e deciso che la Brera aveva proposto.
L’automobile,oltre alla sportività e alla comodità, presenta anche diverse migliorie tecniche e funzionali,come ad esempio l’impianto di illuminazione esterno. Quest’ultimo è infatti caratterizzato da proiettori anteriori e posteriori a scarica di laser, che permettono miglior visibilità e miglior sicurezza al guidatore e ai suoi eventuali passeggeri.
MERCEDES DF-R Mercedes DF-R (Down Force Racing) born by an inspiration to the world of downhill bikes, trying to make the best possible suspension system that they use. Thanks to MAGNETIC FORCE, the suspension of this car guarantee maximum SPORTIVITY and extreme COMFORT to those who want to try a new guide experience.

The Magnetic suspension of the car allow it to flow in the air, thanks to a big magnet placed under the car. The driver can be more confortable, and the car mantains its sportivity

MERCEDES DF-R INTERIOR
Mercedes DF-R is a real one seat sport car, and the interior are also very sportly, but without lost the confortable of the driver. They are based on a TOUCH PAD TECNOLOGY, which is placed near the driver seat. Whit this Pad the driver can control every kind of machanism in the car (tachimeter, speed, aerodynamics). The speedometer is incorporate in the centre console, and is arounded by two panels. This kind of interior is specifically studied for doing maximum SPORTIVITY for his driver, in cities, streets, but also in a racetrack.

Overlying volume whit magnetic system technology
The interior of Mercedes DF-R was born as an idea which chases to satisfy the criterias of COMFORT, TECHNOLOGY and SPORTIVITY. The vehicle, while being single-seater, also offers an exceptional comfort besides the driving pleasure.
Other than comfort, Mercedes offers also innovative technological solutions like the control monitor of the on-board instruments, which can be easily activated by the driver, thanks to the touch screen technology besides the seat.
