Turin’s new barchetta to experience the road in style

Car inspired by the forms of the past designed to relive the atmosphere of Piedmontese coachbuilders. The name chosen for this new concept is a classic reference to the nature of this old-fashioned barchetta whose meaning also suggests the purpose, a new journey to be undertaken, wind in the hair accompanied by the roar of the engine.

Created as an iconic project it winks at the forms and manufacturing techniques of the past, molding aluminum and carbon into a silhouette of the Italian 1950s and 1960s. The return to organic volumes, sinuous reflections, and pure sections are a clear intent to bring back sensations of the past, an engine and bodywork born of skilled beaters and master craftsmen.

The car stems from a concept based on pure geometric shapes, particularly the circle that evolves into an ellipse, fluidly transforming along the body volumes. Inspired by traditional Piedmontese craftsmanship, it combines references to the past with a modern stylistic language. The cabin is distinguished by a shifting, metaphysical profile, while the bodywork, sculpted using classical techniques, develops in a balance of solids and voids, with aerodynamic details such as diffuser, splitter, and exhausts elegantly integrated into the silhouette.

The interiors echo the exterior geometric themes, alternating essential forms and fine materials with advanced technology. The result is an immersive experience in which form and function coexist harmoniously. Seats, integrated into the body, unite the driver with the car in a direct connection to the road.
