The students were guided by teachers and car designer prominent Maurizio Corbi - for the stylistic part - and Marco Amadio, for the part related to the three-dimensional modelling.
The parameters on which the projects were evaluated were:
- Overall graphic presentation
- Design Value
- Adherence to the assigned theme
- Modeling
The Winning group was the group Group 2, consisting of Giovanni Iodice and Manuel Di Loretowas described as follows: "The design of the F01 is characterised by an innovative interpretation on the theme of the Gran Turismo Berlinetta, with an extremely sleek and sporty volume, presenting soft, sinuous lines and a design that is both elegant and captivating at the same time. Presenting innovative elements such as the front wheel cover and the dome, it wants to convey an idea of continuity and innovation“.

The other participating groups.
GROUP 1
Luca Bottino and Alfredo Guercioni
Project: Adrenalin is that quid that allows us for a fraction of time to go beyond our limits, to reach performances that go beyond our physical capabilities. And this is precisely the idea we want to convey with our concept: the car seen as a natural extension of the human body, an instrument capable of making us go beyond our possibilities, reaching speeds and sensations that would otherwise be inaccessible.
GROUP 3
Alberto Cicchese and Manuel Zamburlin
The name of the concept is F zero-e where zero is also understood as the zero point, a new beginning of the supercar era. The F zero-e takes inspiration from various berlinetta models of the past combined with styling solutions found in future electric supercars.
GROUP 4
Marco Begheldo and Giacomo Roberti
The idea was to propose a car with a muscular, fast and elegant line, an unprecedented style represented and conceived as a 'thoroughbred' car. Hence the choice of the name: Varenne, Italian Stallion par excellence. The front of the car recalls the somatic features of the horse with large air intakes reminiscent of nostrils, equipped with a special three-dimensional LED lighting system; great tension on the wheel arches to represent the muscles and finally soft curves to outline a unique and pure design.
