This year edition of the Master was organized with the partnership of Alfa Romeo’s Styling Center (Arese, Milan).
The theme for the final thesis was "Imagine the new Alfa Romeo flagship model", i.e. a possible successor for the Alfa 166.
The nine final projects were presented in the presence of Lorenzo Ramaciotti, Head of Design for Fiat Group Automobiles and Maserati.
The project were supported by the supervision of Mario Favilla (Centro Stile Alfa Romeo), and developed by the team of SPD teachers and 15 international students, who tried to combine in every vehicle styling elements from the brand’s tradition with a contemporary design language.
Additional images of the projects are available on Virtual Car.
