carlo mollino - arabeschi

racing car model
GAM - modern and contemporary art, turin, italy
20 september 2006 - 7 january 2007
curated by fulvio and napoleone ferrari

the vehicle portrayed in this page only existed in carlo mollino's immagination, and today we can admire its clean cut lines thanks
to the remarkable engineering skills and craftmanship of carrozzeria stola, a traditional manufacture amongst the modelling enterprises
in turin.

stola could only rely on the original model, produced by mollino
in the fifties in laminated wood. starting from its wheel proportions,
stola engeneers found a proportion that is six times that of the model. following an accurate photogrammetric survey, it took 5 weeks to produce this record breaking vehicle 5295 mm long, 1957 mm wide,
836 mm high and a weight of 1150 kg.

this life-size car model is shown in the hall of the torino modern
art gallery - a futuristic attempt directed towards the speed record.
