Flavio Manzoni has been chosen to be the next Ferrari Design Chief. I first noticed his works when he penned several concept vehicles at Lancia, of which the above Fulvia concept that sadly never made it to production, a huge mistake from Fiat & Lancia. After Lancia he moved to Volkwagen where he designed several of its latest vehicles like the Scirocco and Up! Concept, and now he has been relocated to Maranello to be the head of design at Ferrari.

Congratulazioni to a great designer!

Proprio come in questa foto, ma 24 anni dopo, oggi sono atterrato a Heathrow con il mitico Super80.

L’Inghilterra e proprio un paese condannato dal Gulf Stream, mentre i Floridiani si godono il clima e bel sole, gli inglesi vivono sotto le nuvole…. mah

1 day and a half

Posted on December 11, 2009, under Design.

Decided to model a wheel in alias, the wheel of choice was the Compomotive TH2.

Tried to make it as realistic as possible hopefully I have managed.

Can’t believe how long it took me to do this considering its ’simple’ shape. Damn you alias!

This is pretty much the base for my future Alias project, the Lancia Delta…

These were taken about two years ago, in Coventry while I was walking around the city. I saw this car a couple of times later but I think the owner left this city.
Any ways, I always wanted to get in touch with the owner to arrange a photoshoot with this beautiful example of the Delta. Who knows if I will get to see this beast again.

Quick shots taken this morning before a Jaguar presentation about the new XJ.

Not sure about the C-Pillar being painted black, don’t see it resembling a Yacht. Also this is one huge car…

Back Online

Posted on November 25, 2009, under Blog, DarioC.

Welcome back after a long absence! 2 months without an internet connection can be quite limiting.

The blog will be updated with some new links, and the main website will be also having a slight overhaul.
