Car designing is an art that involves creativity and imaginations. No car can be designed without adding spice of creativity and innovation into it. Believing this fact many car designers and design students from across the world participated in the ‘Stile Italiano Giovani 2008′ design competition.
It was tough for the jury to decide the best among the participants. But then a decision was required to be taken. Adriano Stellino won the first prize for designing the highly innovative Porsche 917 concept.
Following the success, Louis Gonzales Camino won the second prize for designing the stunning and thrilling sports car, Lamborghini Lidia. It’s exciting to know that the term ‘La Lidia’ has a strong and age old connection with the heritage of Lamborghini. It simply means the art of bullfighting was sourced to be an inspiration for this concept.
Then there was a high-performance electric sports car, Trioba 2+1 designed by Shashwath Bolar. This great designer won the third prize.
Other award winners include Kristina Magnitskaya and Carlo Alberto Cauchi who had grasped breath of the audience with their extraordinary, imaginative, and elegant concept.
Kristina Magnitskaya is a 25 year old Russian girl who holds the magical power of translating her creativity to paper through interesting graphic skills. She designed the OSMI concept that clearly reflects the widespread presence of females in the future of automotive design.
The other award winner, Carlo Alberto Cauchi, made all efforts and attempts to roll out an innovative concept with soft Italian styling in the BMW Sinus. You would be amazed to know that he is only a 23 year old designer who was influenced by the BMW logo and inspired by a more conservative Bavarian image.
Even Dilip Chhabria was not there in the design competition? Till what I know he is considered to be a renowned car designer in India.
We have another talent from india who is well recognized.. our very own DC is surely a great living example to be quoted. Its not necessary that one has to compete- win.
Even Shashwath Bolar is an Indian car designer. Till what I know India is never back in any fields including car designing and car engineering
Yes, Sharita you are right. And my dear friend Kaajal,even I am not sure whether Dilip Chhabria was there or not. I dont think he was or else he would be in the list of winners. But, the great car designer Shashwat took India's name to the top by winning the award.
